CDC.
Wikip says the incumbent, Acting Director of the CDC Susan Monarez assumed office on 1/23/2025. POTUS #47 DJT announced her nomination as permanent director on March 24, 2025; she is the first appointee to the position requiring confirmation by the Senate, after an amendment to the Public Health Service Act enacted in 2022. If confirmed, she would be the first director without a medical degree since 1953.
I have my eye on Dr. Jay Bhattacharya who was confirmed by the U.S. Senate yesterday as the 18th Director of the NIH.

Bhattacharya was an early opponent of lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and questioned the severity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19.
He is a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, a proposal arguing for an alternative public health approach to dealing with COVID-19 through "focused protection" of the people most at risk. In it, Bhattacharya and the two other researchers called on governments to overturn their coronavirus strategies and to allow young and healthy people to return to normal life while protecting the most vulnerable. This would let the virus spread in low-risk groups, with the aim of achieving "herd immunity", which would result in enough of the population becoming resistant to the virus to quell the pandemic.[24] The authors conceded that it was hard to protect older people in the community, but suggested individuals could shield themselves and that efforts to keep infections low "merely dragged matters out".
Bhattacharya will be a great NIH Director.
I think CDC Director Susan Monarez is pro vaccine. Not good.
