The mandates for the vaccine, the COVID lockdowns really shattered trust from the American

public in the NIH.

Why is this version of the NIH different than the one that failed them?

I've seen what the NIH can do to help create a cadre of scientists who actually want

to learn the truth and help people.

But at the same time, you're right.

The trust is shattered.

I think the NIH is worth saving.

And I think it's savable.

We have to make sure that the work of the NIH

actually translates over to better health people.

We actually have to use science to make America healthy.

The problem that when it will happen is that you had a few people

at the top of the scientific food chain getting to decide what everyone else thought was true. Thank you. What happens when questioning the scientific consensus gets you labeled dangerous and then puts you in charge of

the very institution that tried to silence you. Today's guest has lived that story. From co-authoring

the Great Barrington Declaration to being publicly dismissed as a fringe epidemiologist, Dr. J. Batachari

now sits at the helm of the National Institute of Health at a moment when public trust in science is fractured and fragile.

In this episode, we talk about dissent in medicine, free speech in science, COVID lockdowns in their fallout, chronic disease, environmental health, vaccines, and whether the NIH can truly serve the people again rather than the institutions that fund it.

Dr. Bottachah is a physician,

epidemiologist, health economist, and the director of the National Institute of Health with a background

at Stanford University and decades of research in population health and medical policy.
