Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), said during today’s confirmation hearing that he opposes vaccine mandates and scientific censorship. He also told members of the U.S. Senate’s Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (STEP) that he believes in diverse scientific research and he supports efforts to address today’s chronic disease epidemic. During his opening statement, Bhattacharya, a critic of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, listed the five priorities he will pursue if confirmed as NIH director: Tackle the chronic disease epidemic. Support scientific research that is “replicable, reproducible and generalizable.” Establish “a culture of respect for free speech in science and scientific dissent.” Fund “the most innovative biomedical research agenda possible to improve American health.” “Vigorously” regulate research “that has the possibility of causing a pandemic,” such as gain-of-function research. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/jay-bhattacharya-opposes-vaccine-mandates-promises-tackle-chronic-disease-epidemic/
