Overview
President-elect Donald Trump nominated Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a vocal critic of COVID-19 lockdowns, to lead the National Institutes of Health. This follows an FBI investigation into bomb threats targeting several of his nominees, including Elise Stefanik and Lee Zeldin, amid a backdrop of escalating political violence. Bhattacharya, co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, signifies a stark shift in public health policy priorities under Trump. His nomination, along with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for HHS, raises concerns over potential conflicts with established health guidelines and scientific consensus.
