Public health failure? Here's how trust can be restored

Interview: "What is your vision for America? How do you want to restore our trust in public health?

Well, the trust in public health is at an all-time low, and you can see why. I mean, they, the public health authorities, really failed during the pandemic to follow gold-standard science. The way you get it back is by doing gold-standard science and making sure that the public authorities focus on the most important pressing health problems Americans face. We have chronic disease levels that are at an all-time high. Children are obese, type 1, type 2 diabetes, you have, you have cancer, you have hypertension, you have large numbers of chronic disease problems that need to be addressed with excellent science. That's how you restore faith in science."

In an interview, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya delivers a strong critique of public health authorities in the U.S., stating that during the pandemic, they failed to follow rigorous, gold-standard science. According to him, the loss of public trust can only be reversed by returning to true scientific excellence and focusing on the real health issues affecting the population such as chronic diseases that are at historically high levels: childhood obesity, diabetes, cancer, and hypertension.
