Oracle, part of the Trump Police State apparatus



"A top federal doctor who was ousted from his post this week felt pressured to rush out expanded access to a potential treatment for coronavirus patients after President Donald Trump discussed the drug with Larry Ellison, chairman of tech giant Oracle, NBC News reported Thursday.

"The New York Times reported on April 6 that Trump “first expressed interest in hydroxychloroquine a few weeks ago, telling associates that Mr. Ellison, a billionaire and a founder of Oracle, had discussed it with him.” Ellison is worth nearly $70 billion, according to a Forbes tally late last year.

Trump, during a news conference in early April, said five times, “What do you have to lose?” referring to coronavirus patients being given the drug, which normally is used to treat malaria."

"Bright has since retained lawyers at a Washington, D.C., firm that specializes in representing whistleblowers"

"Bright also said that he believed he was removed from his post because he insisted that “the billions of dollars allocated by Congress to address the Covid-19 pandemic” be invested “into safe and scientifically vetted solutions, and not in drugs, vaccines and other technologies that lack scientific merit.”
