Prominent COVID-19 Response Critic Emerges As Leading Candidate To Head National Institutes Of Health

Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford University physician and economist, has reportedly emerged as the leading candidate to be the head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Bhattacharya is known for criticizing the government’s COVID-19 response, specifically the decisions of former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Anthony Fauci.

“This signals a potential shift toward ‘focused protection’ policies over sweeping mandates. With an annual $48B budget, new NIH leadership could redefine U.S. health policy,” Mario Nawfal noted.
