Jayanta Bhattacharya (born 1968) is an Indian-born American physician and economist who is a professor of medicine, economics, and health research policy at Stanford University.
Bhattacharya opposed the lockdowns and mask mandates imposed in 2021 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7] With Martin Kulldorff and Sunetra Gupta, he was a co-author in 2020 of the Great Barrington Declaration, which advocated lifting COVID-19 restrictions on lower-risk groups to develop herd immunity through widespread infection, while promoting the notion that vulnerable people could be simultaneously protected from the virus.
Bhattacharya was born in 1968 in Kolkata, India.[12] He is a naturalized American citizen.[13] and is a practicing Christian [14]. He graduated from Stanford University in 1990 with a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts with membership in Phi Beta Kappa. He remained at Stanford to do doctoral study in economics and attended the Stanford University School of Medicine, receiving an M.D. in 1997 and a Ph.D. in 2000.
From 1998 to 2001, he was an economist at the RAND Corporation and a visiting assistant professor at the UCLA Department of Economics.[16][17] From 2006 to 2008, he was a research fellow at the Hoover Institution.
Bhattacharya researches the health and well-being of populations, with emphasis on the role of government programs, biomedical innovation, and economics.
