Trump Nominates Nicole Saphier as Surgeon General After Withdrawing Casey Means' Nomination
President Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Nicole Saphier as the new U.S. Surgeon General, replacing Dr. Casey Means, whose nomination stalled in the Senate due to concerns over her controversial views on vaccines, birth control, and other topics. Saphier, a breast radiologist and Fox News contributor, has authored books critiquing the U.S. response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The change in nomination may impact public health policy and regulatory decisions under the Trump administration.
