Trump pulls vaccine skeptic Casey Means’ Surgeon General nomination for yet another Fox News personality
President Donald Trump has reached into his favorite television network’s stable of personalities to be the nation’s top doctor after his first pick failed to clear Senate confirmation amid questions over her history of anti-vaccine activism.
In a Truth Social post, Trump said he is nominating Dr. Nicole Saphier, a radiologist who is director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New Jersey, to be Surgeon General.
The president described Saphier as “a STAR physician who has spent her career guiding women facing breast cancer through their diagnosis and treatment while tirelessly advocating to increase early cancer detection and prevention, while at the same time working with men and women on all other forms of cancer diagnoses and treatments.”
He also praised the longtime television talking head as “an INCREDIBLE COMMUNICATOR, who makes complicated health issues more easily understood by all Americans.”
