About This Episode
NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya reflects on newly released extracts from Anthony Fauci's diaries, arguing that Fauci's approach to public health left too little room for scientific debate and uncertainty. He points to disputes over COVID's origins, masking, social distancing, and school closures, arguing that projecting certainty amid conflicting evidence had profound consequences for public trust and millions of children.
