Courting Controversy S1E2: Jay Bhattacharya on How the Supreme Court Has Failed Us

Jayanta Bhattacharya is a Professor of Medicine at Stanford University. In October of 2020, he co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, which eschewed lockdowns due to the harm they inflict on children and young adults, especially compared to the minor risk that demographic faces from the virus itself. Despite his credentials, Dr. Bhattacharya learned--after Elon Musk gave him access to the Twitter Files--that he had been placed on a "trends blacklist." This censorship was the result of demands the White House had placed on social media companies to suppress speech that questioned the government's messaging on Covid-19, prompting Dr. Bhattacharya to become a plaintiff in Missouri v. Biden, which wound up in the Supreme Court under the name Murthy v. Missouri. On this episode, he and Jenin discuss the Supreme Court's recent decision in the case, and the implications for free speech and scientific inquiry.
