When the next pandemic strikes, Americans will again depend on a cadre of senior health officials to steer the nation’s response and reassure the public. But the team rapidly assembled by President-elect Donald Trump is largely untested, possesses scant infectious-disease expertise and has often questioned vaccines and other interventions overseen by the agencies they have been tapped to lead.
Marty Makary, a Johns Hopkins surgeon and writer who is Trump’s pick to lead the Food and Drug Administration, has been among the agency’s most prominent critics, arguing its response to the coronavirus pandemic was heavy-handed and bureaucratic. Dave Weldon, chosen to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is a former GOP congressman who pushed debunked claims about vaccines and their safety. Janette Nesheiwat, a family and emergency medicine physician selected to be surgeon general, is best known as a Fox News commentator.
Their boss would be Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom Trump tapped to lead the Department of Health Human Services and who has repeated debunked claims about vaccines.
The emerging team of Trump health leaders have promised to tackle diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses that they say have been generally overlooked. But their predecessors — including some from the first Trump administration — warn that infectious-disease outbreaks are inevitable and undermining vaccine confidence could impede a federal response during an emergency.
“The new administration had better have a strong infectious disease response plan- and had better ensure public health and vaccine confidence stays high,” Jerome Adams, who served as surgeon general during the first Trump administration, wrote Saturday on X. “Or they’ll be distracted with outbreaks for 4 years this time instead of 1.”
The picks, all subject to Senate confirmation, reflect Trump’s...

They’d probably hate my MD too. Didn’t’t think I needed a vax, literally prescribes 8 nutritional supplements to me. We’re both more interested in prevention than cures.
I’ve lived here 16 years, had a cold several years ago that lasted five days, treated with OTC meds from drug store. That’s my health record.
Only four WP fabulists on this "story"?
You would have thought they'd need at least 8-12 journaliars to gaslight this fake news properly.
And that’d be different from the people we’ve had in that position for the last 5 years… how?
This guy thinks public confidence is high now? Obviously, Trump picked the wrong guy last time around.
The ones we had were tested and failed epically.
I’ll support a clean sweep replaced with Trump’s picks.

The others are short timers, hired around the same time.
Here face looks like somebody put her head in a table vice.
I think they are just letting us know that they will be releasing Smallpox in Feb 2025.
Takes 4 clowns to write this drivel.
More completely believable articles on folks who can lead from journalists - who lied about Dorkbama, the Muslim eunuh quota boy, Bubbah Clinton, the Hillabeast, Biden, and the Ho....for starters.
Ah, journalism, when one failed studies.
That’s true of almost anyone, even ones the dems pick.
How many disease outbreaks have their been that would give someone experience in dealing with them?
And what are they planning on unleashing on us now.
I’d like to see Dr Simone Gold involved somewhere in the health sector
She founded American Frontline Doctors in response to the jabs being forced on the populace while ignoring actual treatment.
She literally put her professional reputation and medical license on the line for the health and well being of her patients.
THAT is the kind of person who deserves to be called a doctor, the others are just medical.
Didn’t they even send her to prison?
...”When” ?
Witgout Gates, Pfauci, and “You will eat ze bugs” Schwab, this all goes away.
Oh, and Peter Hotez, too.
Congratulations! You have zeroed in on the main qualification for the men tasked with cleaning up an industry rife with con artists, foreign spies, and death merchants.
Fauci, Birx, and company not only had no experience but also no common sense and failed their test under fire in the most miserable way possible.
Let Trump’s people have their chance now.
Fauci hadn’t put a stethoscope on a patient since medical school and was simply an ineffective bureaucrat who gloried in power and fame. Where was Fauci’s scholarship and research on communicable disease?
He acquired his expertise treating HIV with drugs that were highly expensive and didn't work and prohibiting the use of any other drugs.
Sound familiar?
All the previous deep staters were tested and found greviously wanting.
