The Man Who Talked Back: Jay Bhattacharya On the Fight against COVID Lockdowns | Uncommon Knowledge

Recorded on April 24, 2023.
Prior to spring 2020, Jay Bhattacharya was a well-respected but little-known epidemiologist and Stanford Medical School professor. But when the COVID pandemic broke out that March, Dr. Bhattacharya was thrust into a leadership role as coauthor of the groundbreaking Santa Clara Study, one of the first comprehensive looks at how the disease spread and impacted populations, and as one of the principals behind the Great Barrington Declaration, one of the first public declarations questioning the lockdown policies then being instituted worldwide. His public interrogation of these policies made him a target of public health officials in the US and abroad-including Dr. Anthony Fauci of the CDC and Dr. Francis Collins at the National Institutes of Health in Washington, DC-and placed him in a media spotlight. In this interview, Dr. Bhattacharya reflects on those battles, what we learned, and how we might better manage future pandemics.

Bright- intelligence does not equal wisdom.

[@user1.8.2.]

It floors me to this day how many people- even so-called spiritual teachers & yoga enthusiasts- seemed completely unaware of the connection between breathing & immunity. I wore no mask. I heard of krispy Kreme donuts or a 'free joint' (pot) being given to those who got a v. Terrifying. Made me think humanity may not stand much of a chance.

[@TheDudeKicker]

It's really hard for me to listen to this because I'm so damn mad at the people in this country for what happened. Most of the time I try and just forget what happened because the anger hurts me and I can't live like that. I know that isn't the right response, but I'm really pissed off about what happened.

[@FLPartyof5]

Same here. Nobody is talking about the millions of citizens who were screaming into a black hole about this back in summer of 2020. Those of us who knew were treated horribly for speaking out and questioning things. I was yelled at by a woman at the grocery store for walking the wrong direction down the aisle. I was screamed at by a “hall monitor” at the Mayo Clinic for not putting my mask on fast enough. My own family called me a conspiracy theorist. Called me selfish or stupid. Those of us who have been gaslit now have ZERO trust in doctors or vaccines, much less any governing agency or authority. What about us? An apology is only the beginning and the bare minimum. There needs to be a larger effort to acknowledge and repair the damage done to the millions of people who refused to believe the BS and refused to comply. Until then- my heart has been hardened and I’m not sure I will ever forgive or fully trust anything again.

How did people even go along with this!?? How could nurses and doctors actually have the conscience to not allow them in?? This is something that will scar people for a long time.

He, also a high standrad, humble human with much life experience, compassion, intelligence and integrity, may be full swing on certain subjects, but he knows that and is open to persuasion if the argument is powerfully convincing and backed by facts. Not something to be said of the last 50yrs of US presidents. Seeing US gov currently bullies the world, an integral US leader would mean more world peace, economic stability, human equality and seeing he is a balanced environmentalist, planetary health.

A great interview and cast some light on the process that led to the decisions made , this was of course no accident either the thing itself or the response to it . Deliberate intent lies at the heart of this whole situation, a concerted effort to disrupt and undermine our existence and not forgetting aided and abetted by a complicit media . Obviously the long term effects will linger on for years , as will the effort to give some accountability . Judging by the age of many involved , they will probably be not around to give full account. In the final analysis it has to come down to who were ultimately responsible . And even more importantly WHY

One lesson to ponder from the Australian experience is that the more stringent your lockdown policies, the more likely the politicians are to get re-elected. For example, Western Australia become its own hermit kingdom for years on end, and the WA Premier was re-elected with a massive majority. Victoria had some of the longest, most stringently policed lockdowns in the world - outside of perhaps certain regions in China - and the Victorian Premier was also re-elected with no end in sight to his tenure. These re-elections are proof positive that “follow the science” may not be as important to political leaders as “voters are more risk adverse than you can ever imagine”.
