Stanford University professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya said “academic freedom is dead” after his life became a “living hell” for challenging coronavirus lockdown orders.
says “academic freedom is dead” after his life became a “living hell” for challenging coronavirus lockdown orders and the “scientific clerisy” during the pandemic.
The declaration was quickly denounced by other health leaders, including National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci, who slammed the call for herd immunity in the document as “nonsense and very dangerous.” Bhattacharya said that soon after the Great Barrington Declaration gained widespread attention, he received death threats, hate mail and questions on where he receives funding, which he noted, “most of my money has come from the NIH for most of my life.”
Bhattacharya argued in his comments to Fox News that in many scientific circles during the pandemic, “power replaced the idea of truth as the guiding light.” Dr. Anthony Fauci called the document from Bhattacharya and other scientists “nonsense and very dangerous.”“They systematically tried to make it seem like everyone agreed with their ideas about COVID policy, when in fact there was deep disagreement among scientists and epidemiologists about the right strategy. That’s why we wrote the Great Barrington Declaration, to tell the public that there was this disagreement. There was another alternate policy available,” he said.
