Donald Trump has tapped Stanford University health economist Jay Bhattacharya to lead the National Institutes of Health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2020, Bhattacharya was a main author of the Great Barrington Declaration, which argued against COVID lockdowns at a time when no vaccines were available. Instead, Bhattacharya said COVID should be allowed to spread without mitigation in order to create so-called herd immunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The World Health Organization called the unprecedented plan \u201cscientifically and ethically problematic,\u201d saying it would result in far more unnecessary infections, suffering and death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And in related news, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Jamieson Greer to serve as the next U.S. trade representative. During Trump\u2019s first term, Greer played a key role in imposing tariffs on China and other nations; he also helped with negotiations over the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which replaced NAFTA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
