The third panel,
Are the Lockdowns Moving Cases Forward? Science and Treatments, was helmed by Dr. Jayanta (Jay) Bhattacharya, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, and Dr. George Fareed, whom I had the opportunity to interview.
Dr. Bhattacharya is a Professor of Medicine and Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. He is a Professor of Economics and Health Research and Policy, and focuses on the researching the health and well-being of vulnerable populations. As Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Hewitt pointed out, someone with both an M.D. and Ph.D in economics “can relate to not only the damage to our health, but the damage to the health of our economy.”
