President Donald Trump announced Monday that he was nominating Dr. Susan Monares, director of the Acting Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to be useful full-time in a post about True Society.

“Dr. Monares brings decades of experience defending innovation, transparency and powerful public health systems,” Trump writes about the true society.

Trump had bashed Monales as his acting CDC director, but he was waiting for the Senate to confirm former Republican Florida Rep. Dave Weldon.

However, the White House retracted Weldon’s nomination on March 13, the morning of his confirmation hearing. Deputy, Weldon It was proposed It was supported due to the ban on mercury in vaccines. He co-hosted the law in 2007, claiming that “the growing number of studies raises concerns about mercury exposure.” (Related: RFK’s National Health Movement has a major impact at the state level)

Weldon denounced the pharmaceutical industry for not being able to confirm in a lengthy statement. “They are the most powerful lobby organization in Washington, DC, giving millions of dollars to politicians on both sides of the aisle. I hope I don’t ruin the Pharma,” he wrote.

Unlike Weldon and most of her predecessors, Monares is not a doctor. With her PhD in Microbiology and Immunology, she became the first CDC director since 1953 without a doctorate in Medicine (MD). According to On the CDC website.

The Senate needs to confirm Monares to lift her from her current role as a proxy director.

Before joining the Trump administration, Monales served as deputy director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-H). According to On her LinkedIn page.
