Not on the order of Absurdity like Matt Gaetz, but a very poor choice nonetheless...as evidenced by
his debate over COVID-19 Shutdowns with former Dean of Yale Medical School, Dr. Sten Vermund...below is that debate which runs ~1:40:00...their Opening Remarks should be sufficient to judge Dr. Bhattacharya and run only to the 42:45 mark...btw, Dr. Vermund's Bio is linked...note his expertise in Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology.
