Trump Appoints Ex-Congressman Dave Weldon as CDC Director
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Dave Weldon, a former congressman with a history of questioning vaccine safety, to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Weldon, known for his conservative stance on fiscal and social issues, will be the first CDC director to undergo Senate confirmation. His nomination has sparked controversy due to his past support for discredited theories linking vaccines to autism. Trump's administration aims to reform public health agencies, citing a loss of public trust in the CDC.
