Chapter transcript
  1. 01:07:07 our medical leaders wasted trillions to play with toys.
  2. 01:07:10 So once and for all,
  3. 01:07:12 should people be taking hydroxychloroquine?
  4. 01:07:16 So just to be clear,
  5. 01:07:19 we revoked an EUA,
  6. 01:07:21 an emergency use authorization,
  7. 01:07:22 at the request of another government agency, BARDA
  8. 01:07:25 and this was for drug that was authorized for use in sick,
  9. 01:07:28 hospitalized patients.
  10. 01:07:30 Hold up.
  11. 01:07:31 Did the head of the FDA just throw somebody under the bus?
  12. 01:07:34 Who's BARDA?
  13. 01:07:35 BARDA is the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.
  14. 01:07:39 It was created in 2006 by Armenian Congressman Anna Eshoo.
  15. 01:07:43 The director of BARDA is Gary Disbro.
  16. 01:07:46 BARDA was established in 2006 to support the development of vaccines,
  17. 01:07:50 therapeutics,
  18. 01:07:51 diagnostics,
  19. 01:07:52 and innovative technologies that could be used when a public health emergency occurs.
  20. 01:07:56 BARDA also helps maintain the Strategic National Stockpile,
  21. 01:08:00 a collection of drugs,
  22. 01:08:01 vaccines,
  23. 01:08:01 and other supplies needed in case of a biological attack or a pandemic.
  24. 01:08:06 Any director of BARDA should have intimate knowledge of any drug that can help defend against weapons like anthrax or coxiella burnetti,
  25. 01:08:14 or every drug listed on the WHO's list of essential medications.
  26. 01:08:18 In 2020,
  27. 01:08:19 Gary reported to the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response,
  28. 01:08:23 Robert Kadlec,
  29. 01:08:24 a former consultant to a company called Emergent Biosolutions.
  30. 01:08:27 When Dr Kadlec was nominated and confirmed in 2017,
  31. 01:08:30 he failed to disclose his previous consulting and ties
  32. 01:08:32 with Emergent Biosolutions and later awarded the company
  33. 01:08:35 with a lucrative contract for a smallpox vaccine.
  34. 01:08:38 But that story is not really a big deal.
  35. 01:08:41 Experts hired in public office are expected to work with people that they know are professional.
