Trump picks acting CDC director Susan Monarez to lead the agency
NBC News ^ | M | Erika Edwards

President Donald Trump has selected Susan Monarez as his new nominee to head the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Monarez, a scientist whose previous work looked at using artificial intelligence to improve health, has already been serving as acting director.

The White House abruptly withdrew Trump's first pick, Dr. Dave Weldon, a Republican former congressman from Florida, just before he was scheduled for a confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Labor, Education and Pensions Committee three weeks ago.

The loss of Dr. Dave Weldon’s nomination to head the CDC is the biggest blow and setback to MAGA/MAHA since Trump took office— and so little covered by conservative media and voters who have been beset by the most trivial of sensationalistic matters.

Big Pharma rules the day.

They have succeeded in labelling everyone who wants more accountability as anti-vax when that’s not the case at all. Dr. Weldon himself, a practicing MD who regularly vaccinates his own patients, is NO homeopath kook.

The best and most noble minds are not leading us in the way of public health. Susan Monarez is not a physician with direct experience in healing and prevention for starters…She is a glorified lobbyist.

Generational loss if there ever was one.

Meanwhile so much cancer, so much death, so much autism, and US continues to lead the developed world in maternal mortality at childbirth. Shame.

And the global public reckoning on what went down during Covid from Wuhan to our own CDC/NIH remains moot.

I know nothing about her, but Dr. Robert Malone seems to have objections to her appointment.

A lack of access to safe, legal abortions will have immediate impacts on women’s physical and mental health. Actions that limit access to health care are dangerous and put lives at risk. #AbortionIsHealthcare

@CDCdirector Susan Monarez

After two months, Trumps administration still is selling the deadly COVID vaccine hard. Echoing Trump, the CDC says the deadly vaccine is “100 safe and effective” and is recommended for infants, with this deadly injection on the “childhood vaccine schedule”. Not a bit of truth has yet been spoken about the COVID vaccine by the Trump administration.

The Covid vaccine is one of Trump’s blind spots. He is immensely proud of his warp speed and the ventilators. He is also enamored with AI.

It’s a weak spot we will all regret one day. But I’m trying to enjoy the main thrust of his work which is very good.

Grateful Kamala Harris is not president - but this is the kind of development that makes me lose respect for President Trump and check out of the movement and politics altogether. Glad RFK can do his little food dye initiatives and other pet projects that won’t ruffle any feathers, but looks like healthcare/medicine as a sphere will remain unredeemed for the time being. Kudos to the individuals in the system who still manage to save lives and promote general welfare by the grace of God. Kudos to those who view life as sacred. But the generational strangleholds of atheistic medicine remain from med school onward.

That, I think, is a very insightful reply. I was thinking, “Trump 2.0 still gets bad advice.” Upon reading your post, however, I am thinking that it may be that Trump still takes only his own advice.

Trump doesn’t think he can be wrong. Fortunately, for us, he often isn’t.

Studio 6B was pitching a FIT over this last night...none of their on-line audience supported this bimbo, either.

What is the date on that tweet? (She took over the CDC director account and so says on her profile that her actual comments don’t start until 1/20/25.)

“Abortion is health care”....this makes me SICK!

The lies in our society are piling up so high. Men can be women, women can be men, save our democracy by stealing elections, no one is illegal...on and on!

Oh okay. The date is 2022! Must have followed Dobbs decision.

Either way, not getting good impression of Doctor (Phd, not MD) Monarez.

Trump does not want to ruffle Big Pharma feathers as he likely doesn’t see it in economy’s best interest and doesn’t want the anti-vax claims overshadowing his agenda during a measles outbreak, which the media has successfully capitalized on to undermine RFK’s agenda.

Every other person that was rumored to be in the running including the more Pharma friendly Michael Burgess, was at the very least, vocally pro-life :(.

And full disclosure once again I am not some anti-vax homeopath, but I see firsthand how medical tyranny has swallowed up American society (even without Covid in the mix) and the current immunization schedule for babies needs adjustment and flexibility.

That’s how I see it also. We often fall into error by believing he is a doctrinaire conservative... and he simply isn’t.

I’m happy with him, but he will disappoint if one believes him to be a hard core conservative.

My apologies: More disinfo, not her, as the first couple of comments confirm.

O-oh. Is he our first AI-beholden president?

She’s a pro-abort, pro mRna COVID vaccine liberal. Why did Trump pick this liberal hack?
