Yes, there is yet another new nomination Friday evening from the Trump transition team, and it's for another weighty role in the incoming administration--the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In a statement, President Trump wrote that he will tap former GOP U.S. representative, Dr. Dave Weldon:

a Medical Doctor for 40 years, and an Army Veteran - sounds good.

I’ll take anyone that isn’t part of the Swamp. They have to prove to me that they’re not part of the Swamp though.

I agree with you: NO Deep State swampsters.
I think Dr. Weldon is an outspoken critic of the covid experimental jabs. Hardly Deep state.

I love any of those who bucked “Mr. Science” Fauci.

Most of my family, save one brother, was taken in by Mr. Science. I abhor the man.

I agree. He’s a vile man. JFK, Jr. says he should be put on trial. Sen. Rand Paul wants him to face the music, too.

I totally believe he ordered it also. I would love to see Rand Paul nail him.

The CDC is actually an important organization which helps control the spread of infectious diseases in the U.S. and around the world. Unfortunately, like many other government groups, it has become a political arm with many political appointees.

Some of the best examples of public servants in the government are those within the CDC who have taken part of the EIS (Epidemic Intelligence Service). These basically come from the private sector, voluntarily take a job at less than half of the former pay for a two year stint in which they go to the front lines in the worst places in the worst countries around the world.

If a CDC employee has been through the EIS program, they are in all likelihood a valuable public servant. If they haven’t, they may be a political appointee with a prior agenda.

Just my two cents.

If that’s correct, that is super good news.

Yes, very good news.

The CDC is actually an important organization which helps control the spread of infectious diseases in the U.S. and around the world.

The CDC is now a useless organization. They committed suicide with the COVID vaccine - not testing it thoroughly enough and covering up negative reactions and worst of all allowing it (MRNA process) to be introduced as the preferred vehicle for all vaccines.

How will they control the spread of infectious diseases when no one (very few) trusts them? They can't promote vaccines for anything because they can't be trusted with its content.

I sure as hell am never getting a vaccine for anything ever again, and I can't be alone in my thinking.

Ha. Dr.Jill could have made house calls to read from scholarly articles in peer reviewed education journals about changing parameters in the use of formative and summative assessments in the classroom.

Does the Israeli Swamp count?

“Dr. Dave Weldon served seven terms in Congress from 1995 through 2009. He was a founding member, along with Rep. Eliot Engel, of the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus in the US house of Representatives. His idea to start the first sister caucus to the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus led to the creation of Israel Allies Caucuses in 50 countries today. After his retirement from Congress, he was asked to join the board of the Israel Allies Foundation and upon the passing of Rabbi Benny Elon became Chairman of the Board.”

A joke but based on previous stupidity

The Hill
“In a slip-up on “The View” Wednesday, Whoopi Goldberg suggested Jill Biden, who has a doctorate in education, be appointed surgeon general if her husband wins the 2020 presidential election, calling her a “hell of a doctor.”

Considering it is mostly a administrative roll, having a real Dr. is good.
