Brett Giroir, Trump’s testing czar, was forced out of a job

developing vaccine projects. Now he’s on the hot seat.

"Brett Giroir, the federal official overseeing coronavirus testing efforts, says that his experience working on vaccine development projects at Texas A&M University helped prepare him for this historic moment. He once said that his vaccine effort was so vital that “the fate of 50 million people will rely on us getting this done.”

But after eight years of work on several vaccine projects, Giroir was told in 2015 he had 30 minutes to resign or he would be fired. His annual performance evaluation at Texas A&M, the local newspaper reported, said he was “more interested in promoting yourself” than the health science center where he worked. He got low marks on being a “team player.”

Now President Trump has given Giroir the crucial task of ending the massive shortfall of tests for the novel coronavirus. Some governors have blasted the lack of federal help on testing, which they say is necessary to enact Trump’s plan for reopening the economy.

That criticism has focused attention on Giroir and whether he can deliver results under pressure. His years as director of the Texas vaccine project illustrate his operating style, which includes sweeping statements about the impact of his work, not all of which turned out as some had hoped.

During two recent interviews with The Washington Post, Giroir blamed his ouster on internal politics at the university, not on any problems with the project.

“If you’re not familiar with academic politics, it makes politics in Washington look like a minor league scrimmage,” he said. He said he was “heartbroken” to leave the position before his work was done, but he said that the vaccine projects have proved valuable — and might contribute to the development of a coronavirus vaccine.""

Barr Is the Enforcer of Trump’s Push to Undermine the

States’ Coronavirus Response

The attorney general’s deploying the same playbook he did in

the Mueller investigation and impeachment: using the

Department of Justice to do the president’s political dirty work.

"Donald Trump is calling for his followers to LIBERATE the states from the social distancing measures that are staving off an even greater coronavirus death toll. Trump’s enforcer, Attorney General Bill Barr, is now poised to support Trump’s call for insurrection by turning to the federal courts—seeded with a legion of newly installed right-wing jurists—to undermine critical public health protections on his boss’ behalf.

If Barr and Trump get their way, the states will soon be “opened up” to the virus, and thus to a massive number of needless deaths.

While Trump began openly attacking his own social distancing guidelines over the past week, Barr has been doing so for some time. During an April 8 interview on Fox News, the attorney general described the steps belatedly taken to limit spread of the virus as “draconian.” He also said that “after April 30,” the Department of Justice would begin to scrutinize such “restrictions on our liberty” more closely."

NYC comptroller whose mother died from coronavirus says:

‘Trump has my mom’s blood on his hands’

By Denis Bedoya On April 20, 2020

"A top New York City official attacked President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, days after his mother died of the disease.

NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer, whose mother Arlene Stringer-Cuevas passed away aged 86 as a result of complications from COVID-19 on Friday, spoke with CNN’s Anderson Cooper about the devastating loss on Monday.

Stringer became emotional as he spoke about how many other families are dealing with the same grief.

‘In New York City, this is playing out in so many families and I’ve got to tell you, Donald Trump has blood on his hands. He has my mom’s blood on his hands,’ he said.

‘He sent us a hospital that’s right here in the Manhattan harbor and no one can get on that hospital,’ Stringer added, referring to the USNS Comfort, which has only taken on a few patients since it docked at Pier 90 in New York City last week.

‘This is something that is just outrageous, and so it’s very tough to mourn under these circumstances.’

‘You’re angry about that,’ Cooper asked.

‘I think we all are,’ Stringer replied."
