Bhattacharya is currently a health policy expert and a COVID researcher at Stanford University in California.

Dr. Bhattacharya is also a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration.

In October 2020 top international epidemiologists Dr. Martin Kulldorff from Harvard, Dr. Sunetra Gupta from Oxford and Dr. Jayanta Bhattacharya from Stanford joined Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle to announce their latest initiative to reopen society and resume life in the West for those who are not vulnerable to the coronavirus.

Dr. Kulldorff then announced that his group put out a declaration this morning called "The Great Barrington Declaration" urging the medical community to initiate a plan of action that included "focused protection."

Because of his outspoken criticism to Dr. Fauci and the DC medical community's COVID policies, Dr. Bhattacharya was investigated by his university, branded a conspiracy theorist, and saw his social media presence severely diminished.

Dr. Bhattacharya was also a co-plaintiff along with TGP's Jim Hoft in the Murthy v. Missouri case that was heard in front of the Supreme Court in March.

The plaintiffs are still gathering evidence in this ongoing case labeled the free speech case of the century.

Dr. Bhattacharya would be an exceptional pick to head NIH under the Trump administration.

Stanford physician and economist Jay Bhattacharya, who former National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins labeled as a "fringe" expert for co-authoring an open letter opposing pandemic lockdowns in October 2020, is now a strong contender to lead the agency.
