Overview

• President Trump’s nominee for U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, is facing challenges to her confirmation due to questions about her medical credentials and vaccine advocacy.
• MAGA activist Laura Loomer has publicly criticized Nesheiwat on X, accusing her of promoting COVID-19 vaccines and questioning her alignment with personal liberty values.
• Reports allege that Nesheiwat misrepresented her medical qualifications, including claims about her certification in emergency medicine and her alma mater.
• Loomer’s campaign against Nesheiwat has gained traction, with speculation about the nominee’s status after the removal of the “nominee” label from Nesheiwat’s X bio.
• The Senate confirmation hearing for Nesheiwat, scheduled for later this week, will determine the future of her nomination amidst growing controversy.
