Trump has nominated Nicole B. Saphier for Surgeon General after withdrawing Casey Means. Saphier is a radiologist and MSK Monmouth director of breast imaging.

Means has faced questions about licensing and vaccine positions; Cassidy has been a pivotal critic. The Healthcare politics dynamic remains unsettled as Kennedy’s stance blends with broader vaccine skepticism within the administration.
