Doctor Critical of Vaccines Quietly Appointed as C.D.C.’s Second in Command
  • Dr. Ralph Lee Abraham, who has been critical of vaccines and promoted discredited treatments during the Covid-19 pandemic, has been appointed as the second in command at the C.D.C. While serving as Louisiana's surgeon general, he halted the state's mass vaccination campaign and directed the health department to cease promoting vaccinations.
  • This appointment raises concerns about the C.D.C.'s direction and credibility, particularly in light of Abraham's controversial stance on vaccines, which could impact public health initiatives and trust in vaccination efforts across the country.
