VIDEO: Accountability for Nonprofit Hospitals

Brad Woodhouse, with Protect Our Care, reacts to Trump’s healthcare nominees, raising concerns about their records and commitment to the health and wellbeing of the American people.

Interviewed on UpNorthNews Radio, Woodhouse outlined several concerning figures beyond Robert Kennedy, Jr., the nominee of President-elect Trump to be secretary of health and human services, and Dr. Mehmet Oz, whose TV-friendly health advice is frequently incomplete or dangerous.

For example, former Florida congressman Dave Weldon, someone who, like Kennedy, shares anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, is Trump’s choice to run the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Marty Makary, Trump’s pick to be commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, embraced a view of the COVID-19 virus that would let many more sick and elderly people die so that younger, healthy people would contract COVID more quickly and build up immunity.

Former Fox News personality Janette Nesheiwat, Trump’s choice for Surgeon General, has spread anti-trans rhetoric and regularly promote dietary supplements she formulates and sells online.

And Jay Bhattacharya, Trump’s pick to be director of the National Institutes of Health, said COVID’s risks were overstated and called for a weakening of safety protocols in a pandemic that would go on to take the lives of more than 1 million Americans.
