Trump's CDC Nominee Dave Weldon Sparks Anti-Vax Support
Donald Trump's nomination of David Weldon, a doctor with a history of questioning vaccine safety, to lead the CDC has been celebrated by anti-vaccine activists. Weldon's past includes efforts to limit vaccine use and question vaccine safety, aligning with anti-vaccine sentiments. His nomination raises concerns about potential impacts on vaccine policy and public health, as well as the influence of anti-scientific ideas. The nomination process requires Congressional approval, but even the nomination itself could legitimize anti-vaccine views.
