In a complete repudiation of Dr. Fauci's COVID policy, President-elect Trump nominates Jay Bhattacharya to run the National Institutes of Health. We know from internal communications that Dr. Fauci personally orchestrated a smear campaign against Bhattacharya to silence any dissent to the COVID policy of lockdowns and vaccine mandates ordered by the Biden administration.
(NEWSMAX) The NIH has been in the crosshairs of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the NIH.
The NIH director oversees 27 institutes and centers that conduct early stage research on everything from vaccines for emerging pandemic threats to targets for new drugs. As the country's top public funder of medical research the NIH oversees a budget of some $47.3 billion.
