Professor Stephen Macedo:  How Does it Feel to Have Elevated MAGA/MAHA Propagandists?

Question to Professor Stephen Macedo

Professor Stephen Macedo is asked about his involvement in elevating MAGA/MAHA propagandists and his opinion on Dr. Jay Bhattacharya's actions as NIH director.

A recent interview revealed Professor Macedo's dismay at Dr. Bhattacharya's cancellation of research into mRNA vaccines, which is just one example of Dr. Bhattacharya's unfitness to lead the NIH.

If the country had had more scientific leaders like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya—and more who were willing to listen to him—our policymaking could have been based more on evidence and less on hubris.

This quote is from an article titled "Restoring Trust in Public Health" co-written by Professor Macedo and Francis Lee, which highlights the importance of scientific leadership during the pandemic.
