华盛顿— 两名政府官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻证实，美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）院长杰伊·巴塔查里亚（Jay Bhattacharya）将暂时担任疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）主任，直至特朗普总统任命一名永久CDC主任。他将继续留任NIH院长一职。
《纽约时报》首先报道了这一举措，这是联邦卫生机构领导层动荡期的最新动向。CDC此前由代理主任吉姆·奥尼尔（Jim O’Neill）领导，奥尼尔于去年8月被任命，接替经参议院确认的CDC主任苏珊·莫纳雷斯（Susan Monarez）。莫纳雷斯上任不到一个月便被罢免。
巴塔查里亚在新冠疫情期间因公开批评CDC的应对措施而声名鹊起。作为斯坦福医学院教授，他强烈反对封锁措施，对口罩的有效性持高度怀疑态度，通过写作和社交媒体发声。
上个月，CDC缩减了儿童疫苗接种推荐数量，引发儿科医生和公共卫生专家的担忧，他们担心那些已被科学进步控制的疾病可能卷土重来。
本月早些时候，在美国数十年来最大规模的麻疹疫情期间，巴塔查里亚告诉国会，人们应接种麻疹疫苗。他表示，尚未发现疫苗导致自闭症的证据，尽管总统和卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）对这一理论推波助澜。
“我没有看到任何研究表明单一疫苗会导致自闭症，”巴塔查里亚在参议院小组委员会上表示。
NIH’s Jay Bhattacharya will also serve as acting CDC director

Washington— National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya will serve temporarily as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention until President Trump selects a permanent CDC director, two administration officials told CBS News. He will remain in his role as NIH director.
The move, first reported by The New York Times, is the latest in a period of turmoil for federal health agency leadership. The CDC has been led by an acting director, Jim O’Neill, who was appointed in August. He replaced Senate-confirmed CDC Director Susan Monarez, who was ousted after less than one month in the role.
Bhattacharya gained his reputation during the COVID-19 pandemic as a vocal critic of the CDC’s response. Deeply opposed to lockdowns and highly skeptical of the effectiveness of masking, Bhattacharya, then a Stanford Medical School professor, took to writing and speaking out on social media.
The CDC last month scaled back the recommended number of childhood vaccines, sparking alarm from pediatricians and public health experts who worry diseases that have been tamed by scientific advances may roar back with a vengeance.
Bhattacharya told Congress earlier this month that people should get vaccinated against measles, amid the largest outbreak in the U.S. in decades, and said he hasn’t seen evidence that vaccines cause autism, even as the president and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have added fuel to that theory.
“I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism,” Bhattacharya told a Senate panel.
