The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

Abraham will bring crucial health freedom leadership to the CDC after courageously standing up against dangerous mRNA injections. Abraham's appointment represents a victory for the Make America Healthy Again movement and medical independence over establishment groupthink. His decades of frontline experience give him unmatched credibility to reform America's broken public health system.

Pro-establishment narrative

This appointment is deeply troubling. Abraham has promoted vaccine misinformation, backed debunked treatments like ivermectin, and, as the Louisiana surgeon general, ended childhood vaccination campaigns while failing to alert the public about whooping cough deaths. This continues a dangerous pattern of politicizing public health and making the CDC less of a reliable source for crucial information.
