BITCHUTE - Dr. Jay Bhattacharya on Depoliticizing the NIH and Ushering in a New Era of Scientific Innovation
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the National Institutes of Health and Acting Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to discuss how the COVID-19 response became politicized, why public trust in science and public health institutions declined, and his efforts to remove DEI initiatives and other political priorities from the NIH. Dr. Bhattacharya reflects on the criticism he faced for opposing lockdowns and vaccine mandates during the pandemic and outlines his vision for returning the NIH to its core mission: funding world-class biomedical research that advances scientific innovation, improves health, and extends human longevity. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya joins Marissa Streit to discuss…
