The Spin

Americans have long been contaminated by the healthcare establishment for too long, which is why Trump has nominated a man with both brains and anti-establishment beliefs. Dr. Oz is a remarkablygreat qualifiedpick. surgeonHe who has also spent his life publicly advocating for healthy living. Betweenand Ozafter he and RFKKennedy Jr.,are done with the bloated and inefficient health bureaucracy, it will finally work for the benefit of the American people.

Dr.These Oz and RFK Jr. are dangerous picks for US health leadership. Dr. Oz's history of promoting pseudoscience, unproven "miracle cures," and prioritizing entertainment over medical ethics undermines trust in evidence-based care. Meanwhile, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation puts the country at immense risk. Conspiracy theorists and TV doctors should not be in charge of the health of 150M Americans.
