Trump Nominates Doctors for Key Health Positions
Former President Donald Trump has announced his nominations for key health care positions, naming Dr. Marty Makary as the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Dr. Janette Nesheiwat as the Surgeon General. Dr. Makary, a Johns Hopkins surgeon known for his contrarian views on COVID-19 health measures, will lead the FDA, an agency responsible for overseeing vaccines and drugs. Meanwhile, Dr. Nesheiwat, a Fox News medical contributor, has been appointed to the role of Surgeon General. This move reflects Trump’s strategy of placing individuals with critical views on COVID-19 policies in prominent health roles.
