Viewers of Fox News are well acquainted with Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a double-certified physician, and it appears the whole nation is going to get to know her a whole lot better as she has now been tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to serve in his administration as the U.S. Surgeon General. Trump’s transition team made the official announcement last Friday. Trump is absolutely killing it with his cabinet picks. He really did learn a lot from his last time in office and he’s making much better selections this time around.
“Dr. Nesheiwat has appeared regularly on Fox News, where she has been a vocal advocate for preventive healthcare and public health education. Her alignment with Trump’s messaging—particularly during discussions on Operation Warp Speed and disaster relief efforts—has made her a recognizable name in conservative circles,” Trending Politics News is reporting.
The president-elect heaped praise on Nesheiwat and her “unwavering commitment to saving and treating thousands of American lives,” going on to cite the work she has done in various crises from Hurricane Katrina to the tornadoes that tore through Joplin, Missouri.
A member of Samaritan’s Purse Disaster Assistance Team, she has also provided care in Morocco, Haiti, and Poland, further solidifying her reputation for hands-on humanitarian work. One of five children raised by a widowed immigrant mother who worked as a nurse, Nesheiwat’s journey from humble beginnings to the nation’s top medical position is emblematic of the American Dream according to Trump. She graduated from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and has since become a passionate advocate for accessible, affordable healthcare.
During the pandemic, Dr. Nesheiwat worked in New York City, treating patients at the height of the crisis. Her focus on preventive care and health education aligns with Trump’s pledge to “Make America Healthy Again,” a phrase he has emphasized in his cabinet announcements.
Dr. Nesheiwat has endorsed vaccines, including those questioned by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, according to Politico. However, she has occasionally questioned the CDC’s recommendations on COVID vaccines, suggesting earlier this year that for many Americans, particularly the youth, the potential risks of the vaccine could exceed its benefits, though she noted that these risks are minor for most people. Throughout the pandemic, Nesheiwat has expressed skepticism towards government mandates.
The doctor will still need to go through a Senate confirmation hearing that could end up being a major test for the GOP’s slim majority.
While there have been a ton of great picks for various positions in the president-elect’s cabinet, what I’m most looking forward to is the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which is to be headed up by billionaire SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. We’ve been told that funding for groups like Planned Parenthood will be slashed right off the bat. Anything that reduces abortion is a win in my book.
And what could be better for the health of America than exercising self-control and having babies?
