BREAKING: Trump nominates Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to head National Institutes of Health

The Senate on Tuesday confirmed health researcher Jay Bhattacharya as the next leader of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). 

Bhattacharya was confirmed on a party- line vote, 53 to 47. 

Bhattacharya became a celebrity among many Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic for criticizing masking orders, school closures and other measures meant to mitigate the spread of the virus.   

Bhattacharya was one of the primary authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, a document signed by thousands of public health experts in late 2020 that pushed the argument of “herd immunity;” allowing the COVID virus to spread among lower-risk, younger people to build up immunity while having “focused protection” on older, high-risk people.
