He's a serious scientist - thoughtful, respectful, open to debate. For too long, the biomedical establishment has seen (and run) itself as an unaccountable priesthood. Jay will lead the defrocking.
great news indeed... to see how they characterize him in the left is mind blowing. you can criticize his work (though you better have data) but to attack his motives, integrity, and character really shows we are dealing with an unhinged left... I hope they regain their senses one by one, as the saying goes... I see some sign of that, though it is taking a very long time
There's no going back because reality is kryptonite to their worldview; they'd have to face up to sunk costs and the fact that they are not morally superior.
The most telling comment I recall was early on 2020 when the Cleveland Clinic prepublished their study of their own employees showing that employees who had already had COVID infection didn’t get it again, and therefore could forgo the “vaccine,” reserving it for people who were seronegative and especially those with underlying medical conditions. Made perfect sense.
I remember distinctly one comment to the preprint saying “This shouldn’t be published. People will get the wrong idea!” What?!? Don’t published the facts because people won’t agree with your narrative or your designs?!? 🤦
A big part of the problem is many people do not understand the "fallacy of the common good".
And because of this, it was easy for them to deploy moral trick-boxes through occult-malice levels of mental brutality to dial up social tyranny, i.e., the two most diabolical (and brilliant) slogan phrases ever:
1. My mask protects YOU.
2. wE'Re alL iN iT tOGeTHeR!
This is why the "social contract" is a myth.
To the extent that I care about what is good for anyone other than my family, it's pretty much my call. When it comes to putting myself or my family at risk for some whacked out virtue-signaling scheme, no matter how good it makes you feel about yourself, count me out.
If you are telling me that I need to have a foreign substance injected in my body so thyat someone else might not get sick, I'm going to tell you to take your "social contract" and put it where the sun doesn't shine.
No, I don't have to accept your assurances that the vaccine you want to stick into me or mine is safe and effective; I get to ask questions and demand proof.
This appointment alone is enough to justify having voted for Trump. In the hysteria of the campaign, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that presidential power is exercised largely through personnel, and Trump has shown exceedingly fine judgment with Bhattacharya's selection.
Like putting people on respirators. And in Florida, when the Biden admin limited the availability of monoclonal antibody therapy treatments. That treatment saved my mother's life. (We live in TX.)
The official death toll is still suspect - so many folks dying of other causes were documented as dying from the virus so the hospital could make extra money. There was out and out fraud in addition to the died "with" rather than because of the virus. All this in addition to deaths caused by inappropriate treatments as well as withholding of treatment protocols.
The majority of the people who are claimed to have died from Covid were killed by their medical care. The protocols killed; ventilators had a death rate over 90% and Remdisver has. Death rate over 50%. Throw in isolation which allowed for the medical staff to ignore basic human needs like nutrition and hydration and the fact that a dead Covid patient was worth more than a live Covid patient and you get a lot more dead people.
YES...let the defrocking commence! Dr. Jay was one of my top resources during the great PLANdemic, and pretty certain was for many of you here too. I am grateful Trump made this choice! Now don't get me started on his choice for surgeon general WTF! Sure the position is more of a mouthpiece non decision making position, but again WTF! Gobble Gobble to ALL...
I met Jay Bhattacharya at a Hoover Institute event earlier this year. He discussed the Great Barrington Document, a simple letter with a bunch of common sense on a one-page piece of paper. I was struck by what he spoke about that night—mostly about censorship. I went up to him afterwards, thanking him and mentioning that I have been reading your substack. He was so appreciative of your fight, Alex, and said you could use all of the help that you could get. I was touched by how much support and admiration he has for you. It's hard to be the upstander.....I'm grateful for you both this Thanksgiving Day!
With Dr. Battacharia, Dr.Makarty, Dr. Oz and RFK in charge we God willing won't have a repeat of the nightmare everyone experienced through Covid, and people will become more educated and less brainwashed about what did happen and who was responsible.
I suspect most of the death count, in addition to being exaggerated, was also due to the malfeasance of medical and health authorities. People were turned away from ERs, told to return when they had breathing problems and in the meantime take aspirin etc as per a cold. This, despite rapidly emerging and inexpensive, readily available, and tried-and-true home treatments for inflammation and respiratory issues. Once admitted, people were put on ventilators, which have a high mortality rate; they were given remdesivir, which had a high mortality rate; they were denied any of the rapidly developing and inexpensive treatments: IV Vitamin C; vitamin D; tried and true inhalers to assist the lungs; steroids to help the inflammation everywhere. ERs are centers for contagion: small, cramped, poorly ventilated, mobbed with visibly sick people. (I avoid them all now!)
I will never go to a hospital for a future pandemic, unless I can ascertain aforehand they are open to ANY sort of treatment that might help, and are tracking the arising developments out in the TRUE science-based medical sector. (Good luck with that information!)
To everyone who reads this message Happy Thanksgiving Day everyone. I agree with you 💯 on Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD. A great man for the job.
Yes, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Absolute power, or the attempt to gain it, corrupts absolutely as 2020 showed.

A few are. But many are lost.
There's no going back because reality is kryptonite to their worldview; they'd have to face up to sunk costs and the fact that they are not morally superior.
Who would want to confront that?

I WILL NOT GIVE UP MY AGENCY FOR ANYONE.
That common good fallacy is the source of many other evils as well.
"For the common good” is the most common excuse for uncommon evil.
3. Follow the science
4. Vaccine Hesitancy
5. Social Distancing
Oh yeah definitely.
"DENIER" and "ANTI" this and that...
Labeling is a powerful tool.
Or even the absence of labeling for one side of a debate.
Like you say about the FALLACY of the common good!
After everything he went through, I'm happy for the good doctor. Happy Thanksgiving, Alex.

One other factor that must be included. How many early deaths were from the inappropriate treatment or therapy withheld....
Like putting people on respirators. And in Florida, when the Biden admin limited the availability of monoclonal antibody therapy treatments. That treatment saved my mother's life. (We live in TX.)
I meant to say ventilators…. Can’t figure out how to edit my comment on my phone
It sucks. You can't edit in the app until someone "likes" your comment.
I uninstalled the app and that took care of it fyi

Minimum Ten’s of thousands if not one hundred thousand in US.
Ventilators and Remdesivir
Many more than most people realize. Many....
Thank God for your publishings! What if we had only NYT to tell us what to think!! What does "official Covid death" mean anyway???
Died from or died with or _______????

Happy Thanksgiving! We have a lot to be thankful for! To start… thank you,Alex.
This Canadian wishes all my loving neighbors to the south a Happy Blessed Thanksgiving. Enjoy the day with family, friends and neighbors. Cheers.

Who remembers Dr. John Ioannidis from them Covid days?!
Yes! Not all at Stanford are bought and paid for hacks
Exactly!!! He was my main man during Covid!!!
Happy Thnksgiving All. Thank you for your incredible journalism Alex. Cant wait for Dr B to revamp our health system.

As the nurses referred to it run-death-is-near (remdesivir).
Excellent comment. This is what I have always thought too.
Even worse, they recommended acetaminophen which depletes your glutathione, making it harder for your immune system to fight the infection.
