President Trump Withdraws Casey Means' Surgeon General Nomination, Nominates Nicole Saphier
President Trump has withdrawn the nomination of Dr. Casey Means for the position of U.S. Surgeon General, citing stalled progress in the Senate due to concerns over her experience and views on vaccines. Dr. Nicole Saphier, a radiologist and former Fox News contributor, has been nominated as the new candidate. Dr. Means, who was initially nominated in May, faced scrutiny for her lack of a completed surgical residency and inactive medical license. Her nomination was further complicated by her association with the Make America Healthy Again movement and controversial views on vaccine recommendations. Dr. Saphier, currently the director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering Monmouth, is recognized for her work in guiding women through breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
