Trump Nominates Stanford's Bhattacharya for NIH, Kennedy for HHS
Nov 30, 2024, 06:33 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford professor and prominent critic of pandemic lockdowns and vaccine mandates, to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Bhattacharya, known for advocating youth herd immunity during the pandemic and co-authoring a declaration on pandemic policies, will take charge of the nation's leading medical research agency if confirmed by the Senate. If confirmed, Bhattacharya would report to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, who has been widely criticized for promoting vaccine skepticism and undermining global health policies.
