Trump Names TV Doctor with Vaccine Doubts as Nation's Top Health Official

President Trump has nominated Nicole Saphier, a Fox News contributor and radiologist without an active medical license, as surgeon general—the position responsible for directing U.S. public health policy. The nomination reflects deeper concerns about whether someone aligned with anti-vaccine sentiment and alternative medicine movements will lead federal health guidance. This signals a potential departure from evidence-based medicine at the highest levels of American public health authority.
