Good read about our next NIH director.

More kakistocracy, then.

Nah. He’s a superb nominee. It’s a shame he wasn’t running NIH during Covid. The Great Barrington Declaration has been proven correct. But the Fauci train wreck is behind us and he’s gone. No point in dwelling on his tragic mistakes of the past. Jay’s the right man for the job and has the right priorities to fix NIH.

Fauci was right about everything.

During the COVID pandemic, the Pubs seemed to have the idea that lockdowns and mask mandates were some kind of threat to civil liberties. It was incredibly stupid and dangerous thinking, and Trump . . . well, let's just say he did not discourage it. But the stupidity was international.

The Great Barrington Declaration has been proven correct.

Not if it's this.

Yes, that’s it. Celebrity epidemiologist Fauci was more focused on mugging for the cameras than following the science. The lockdowns were devastating.

The lockdowns were necessary. Even as it was, we lost hundreds of thousands whom a better administration could easily have saved.

Trump was counting on a low jobless rate to propel him to re-election. Faced with a pandemic that would require job-killing measures to contain it, he reacted like a toddler and denied the problem, or pushed snake-oil remedies.

And not Trump alone. This is what happened.

Jay Bhattacharya:

Bhattacharya opposed the lockdowns and mask mandates imposed in 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6] With Martin Kulldorff and Sunetra Gupta, he was a co-author in 2020 of the Great Barrington Declaration, which advocated lifting COVID-19 restrictions on lower-risk groups to develop herd immunity through widespread infection, while promoting the fringe notion that vulnerable people could be simultaneously protected from the virus.[7][8][9] The declaration was criticized as being unethical and infeasible by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization.[10]

An extremely dangerous crank.
