Former Florida Representative Dave Weldon, MD, was chosen by
President-elect Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), replacing Mandy K. Cohen.
“In addition to being a Medical Doctor for 40 years, and an Army
Veteran, Dave has been a respected conservative leader on fiscal and
social issues, and served on the Labor/HHS Appropriations Subcommittee,
working for Accountability on HHS and CDC Policy and Budgeting,” Trump
said in the Friday evening announcement.
“Dave also served in a leading role in Government Oversight and
Reform Committee Hearings, addressing issues within HHS and CDC. Dave
has successfully worked with the CDC to enact a ban on patents for human
embryos,” Trump said.
According to Trump, Dr. Weldon will be instrumental in “Making
America Healthy Again,” focusing on fixing the previous administration’s
“past errors.”
“Americans have lost trust in the CDC and in our Federal Health
Authorities, who have engaged in censorship, data manipulation, and
misinformation,” he said.
“Given the current Chronic Health Crisis in our Country, the CDC must
step up and correct past errors to focus on the Prevention of Disease.
The current Health of Americans is critical, and CDC will play a big
role in helping to ensure Americans have the tools and resources they
need to understand the underlying causes of diseases, and the solutions
to cure these diseases,” Trump added.
The president-elect also noted that Dr. Weldon “understands American Family Values.”
“As a father of two and a husband of 45 years, Dave understands
American Family Values, and views Health as one of utmost importance,”
he said. “Dave will prioritize Transparency, Competence, and High
Standards at CDC. Dave will proudly restore the CDC to its true purpose,
and will work to end the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and Make America
Healthy Again!”
