Trump

President Donald Trump has chosen Dr. Nicole Saphier as his third pick for U.S. surgeon general. Saphier is a radiologist and ex-Fox News Channel contributor who's been a vocal advocate for vaccination and has criticized the Trump administration's handling of health issues. Still, Saphier supports Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s agenda, including removing food additives and cutting ultraprocessed foods. Saphier's nomination follows the failed campaign of Dr. Casey Means, who faced scrutiny over her experience and vaccination stance. Means says her failed nomination was the result of a “smear campaign.” The nomination of the Republican president's first surgeon general pick, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, fell apart after questions about her academic credentials.
