I think you are a patriot. You have been on this for more than a decade.

Your testimony is I think, some of the most important testimony that Congress could be hearing.

I think shame on us. I think shame on all of us that we have allowed this to happen.

there has been a failure on the part of the administration to use the scientific evidence

Our country is in pain. Americans are afraid, they are sick, they are hungry and jobless, and over 80,000 souls have been lost.

Our top priority is the health and safety of the American people.

We've been demanding answers and information from the Administration on testing, contact tracing, the supply chain, food safety and the safety of food production workers, and attempts to undermine science and public health.

The government that was supposed to protect them has failed.

I thank Dr. Bright for coming forward and for being here today.

We, the United States, still has more cases, more deaths, by far, than any other nation on earth.

We can't have a system where the price paid is unconscionable, mothers losing daughters, and daughters losing fathers because of incompetence, denial, delay, and a disorganized response.

The government that was supposed to protect them, has failed.
