Contributing sentiments towards policy:
67% : Trump Wants As the Director of CDC - RedState.52% : The medical outlet STAT covered Weldon's nomination this way: CDC nominee Dave Weldon has long supported anti-vaccine theories.
45% : But an examination by STAT of thousands of pages of documents from Weldon's 14 years in Congress, part of his archives housed here at the Florida Institute of Technology, and interviews with a half-dozen former health officials, found that his support for anti-vaccine theories runs long and deep.
44% : That steadfast history may explain why Trump selected him to run an agency in which he would oversee vaccine policy and messaging.
17% : Given the highly controversial nominations President Trump has managed to force through the Senate (for instance, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Kash Patel), one has to wonder why a practicing physician and former member of Congress was a "bridge too far" to lead the CDC.
