The Trump-Vance transition team announced that Stanford Professor Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, author of "The Great Barrington Declaration," is his pick to lead the National Institutes of Health.
This is a terrific choice; Dr. Bhattacharya is highly respected and was right about the negative effects of lockdowns during the COVID pandemic when so many others were wrong. He didn't back down despite numerous attempts to silence him.
good news.
His opinions were censored, and this meant few realized the problems: Mainly that the economic shutdown was causing more problems than ordinary quarantine, and later about the problems of the vaccines.
Here is an interview from OCT 2021.
the economic damage to third world countries was huge: People here were afraid to go to the hospital so died at home of other things, cancer patients delayed treatment, and a lot of money spent for testing our drivers to deliver rice to Manila made our profit selling rice lower and probably increased the price of food, leading to malnutrition.
Omicron pretty well stopped the epidemic, and most of the use of masks etc was stopped.
But the huge outlay of money for protective equipment, quarantine, etc. meant less money for other things, such as spraying for mosquitoes: so we now have a Dengue epidemic going on.
in other words, his holisitic view remembered that other things can kill: like Poverty and social isolation.
