QUESTIONS? Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, is my guest tomorrow. He is an author of the Great Barrington Declaration criticizing Covid policy, signed by nearly a million scientists around the world. I am sharing this article in MedPage Today because it says neither he, nor his co-authors, returned request for comment, which always catches my eye because it makes me wonder if the person was given ample time, opportunity or they really chose to disengage.

It was introduced by then-Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, mostly to stop some Texas nonprofits from attacking him during a campaign. It passed quietly, with no debate, and over time, it became a kind of political muzzle for religious groups: preach all you want, but you can’t stump.
