https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/04/top-vaccine-expert-fired-trump-hydroxychloroquine-messonnier-science.html>Trump threatened to fire Nancy Messonnier, a CDC official, after she warned in late February that the coronavirus was likely to spread within the United StatesThe warnings from CDC came in February. Trump didn't succeed in firing Dr. Messonnier but he really wanted to and threatened to.
>Dr. Rick Bright was suddenly deposed from his position as head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, an agency at the center of government efforts to produce treatment and a vaccine for the coronavirus>Bright gave an explanation for his untimely departure: He believes he was pushed out for insisting on limits to the use of hydroxychloroquine, an unproven treatment that Trump has touted as a miracle cure for the virus. This part I got correct, however he alledges that Trump fired him for doubting hydroxychloroquine.
The part about Trump holding government workers hostage was hyperbole, and obviously so I hope, but there is an air of truth to it. It's true to say many people are worried Trump will find a way to retaliate against those who openly contradict him.
