The White House withdrew the nomination of skeptical vaccines and former Republican Congress member Dave Wildon to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hours before he was appointed to testify before the Senate Committee.
Wildon, 71, was scheduled to answer the questions before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Retirement Committee on Thursday – but a White House spokesman confirmed on the Post that the choice of the Center for Disease Control is no longer under consideration.
This reflection came after the Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services Robert F. confirmed. Kennedy Junior that Wildon was not ready for this position, according to Axios, who first reported the withdrawal of the candidate.
Wilden has already raised questions about the links between vaccination and autism, while identifying mercury as a possible reason.
The Republic of Florida served in Congress from 1995 to 2009 – Videos about his ruins on social media rose earlier this week in anticipation of confirmation fighting.
While representing the Sunshine in the House of Representatives, Weldon participated in the care of legislation to prohibit mercury in vaccines.
Kennedy, 71, was wounded by interrogation lines about his polio, measles and hepatitis B vaccines during his confirmation session-but he won the approval of the Chairman of the Bill Casidy (R-La) and other Republicans and was later confirmed.
