Listen "Jay Bhattacharya: Free Expression and Unsettled Science"
Episode Synopsis
Jay Bhattacharya is a professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert focusing on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations. During the Covid pandemic, Dr. Bhattacharya co-wrote the Great Barrington Declaration, which advocated for a "focused protection" approach in pandemic policy. His public stance against "lockdowns" won him both plaudits and criticism from policymakers, lawmakers, academics, and scientists. ACTA's Steven McGuire interviews Dr. Bhattacharya on his experience of being in the eye of the COVID public health policy storm and the light it casts upon the state of free expression in higher education.
