Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is now in Dr. Tony Fauci’s old job, appointed by President Trump and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Dr. Bhattacharya says, “Lockdowns were a catastrophic mistake. We should recoil with horror. Covid policies violated medical ethics and crushed ability for physicians and scientists to discuss facts…we were silenced…”
Jayanta Bhattacharya (born 1968) is an American physician-scientist[1] and health economist[2] who has served as the 18th Director of the National Institutes of Health since 2025. Bhattacharya is a professor of medicine, economics, and health research policy at Stanford University. He is an investigator at Stanford’s Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging. His research focuses on the economics of health care.[3][4][5] In November 2024, President-elect Donald Trump named Bhattacharya as his choice to lead the National Institutes of Health,[6] and he was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 25, 2025.[7]
Bhattacharya opposed the lockdowns and mask mandates imposed in 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9] With Martin Kulldorff and Sunetra Gupta, he was a co-author in 2020 of the Great Barrington Declaration.
