   The Trump administration plans to nominate Jay Bhattacharya to lead the NIH. Bhattacharya has spread disinformation on COVID, fought against lifesaving measures including vaccines, masks, and social distancing, and is backed by dark money groups pushing corporate interests.

     Some media outlets are already sane-washing Bhattacharya. To learn more about how he has spread disinformation that undermines public health, is widely discredit by real experts, and is funded by dark money, read this piece by Walker Bragman who has tracked him throughout the pandemic: https://www.importantcontext.news/p/everything-you-need-to-know-about

     The NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research on the planet. Having a discredited corporate-backed contrarian like Bhattacharya as its head will disrupt critical lifesaving research on vaccines, Long COVID, and pandemic threats etc. and undermine public health generally.
