“The root problem was that people who have alternative ideas were suppressed [during the pandemic]… Science, to succeed, needs free speech. It needs an environment where there is tolerance for dissent.” This is why we love Jay Bhattacharya!

Watched the full hearing. Dr Bhattacharya responded very well outlining his vision for NIH, guided by the basic principles of scientific research: Freedom, Transparency and Respect for alternative views and hypotheses 👏🏼
