In this episode of Truth Over News, we discuss the nomination of Jay Bhattacharya as the new director of the National Institutes of Health and explore why, in many respects, this appointment is the most significant of all.
In Mar, 2020, the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) which banned the use of hydroxychloroquine in early treatment protocols by only allowing it to be used on people who had infections long enough to be forced to rush to ERs in hospitals. There are 2 possible explanations for why they did that. 1) to make sure social distancing could be used during the November election because that was needed in order to control election results, or 2) to protect the eligibility of vaccines to get an EUA because you cannot get an EUA if another drug exists which has been proven effective. I believe the former is the greater incentive and, while Trump may have been president at the time, the FDA is populated by Democrats.
"In June 2024, Bhattacharya was listed as a plaintiff on the US Supreme Court case Murthy v. Missouri, but ultimately lost the case due to lack of legal standing.[59] Justice Barrett delivered the opinion of the majority, stating "plaintiffs failed to show a concrete link between the restrictions that they alleged and conduct of government officials"[60]"
