at hhs director, that dave weldon will erode trust in vaccination?ink all of us can agree that there's an increase in vaccine he hesitancy, and i think it comes from people not believing what the government is telling them. the fact that the cdc committee for vaccines and the fda committee for vaccines said for covid boosters, that you should take a booster if you are over 65, yet the biden administration and rochelle walensky politicized that and said you should boost your 6-month-old. the american public is rejecting -- it's only about 20% of the american public of all ages is taking the covid booster because the government hasn't been honest with this. >> vaccination rates in other -- >> hesitancy -- >> other vaccines as well, not just covid vaccines. there's concerns about measles and other -- >> exactly, but people are doubting because they're being told that. i'll give you an example. look. i think vaccines, smallpox, the story of smallpox vaccine and polio are some of the most miraculous discoveries in all of medicine and i'm not against vacci

el doctor david weldon, ex congresista de florida, se desempeñará como director de los centros para elnitarios. nashua ha defendido las vacunas para el covid 19. hablemos ahora del mal tiempo que afecta al país. en el norte de california, un río atmosférico sigue provocando el desbordamiento de ríos. las inundaciones afectaron varios acres de viñedos en la ciudad de sonoma. algunas carreteras están cerradas. el sistema que dejó una fuerte nevada en zonas montañosas se debilitará a medida que avanza hacia el sur. mientras en el noreste están recuperándose de la fuerte nevada que afectó principalmente a los estados de nueva york y nueva jersey, la tormenta ha causado estragos y cancelaciones de vuelos. miles de usuarios aún están sin electricidad. hay preocupación en el país por el aumento de casos de tosferina y neumonía. los niños y adolescentes son los más afectados por estas enfermedades respiratorias. los hospitales ya empiezan a saturarse en algunas ciudades y los médicos piden a los padres vacunar a sus hijos cuanto antes. edgar muñoz habló con varios pacientes. no podía respirar

the now the underclass be, is a political scientist and director of the james weldon johnson institute for the study of brace a difference at emory university. i. so she agreed, we've come a lot higher as the statement the best is the most consequential election of our lifetime use. yes, i do agree that this is not the consequential election of our lifetime. this is the 1st election after the supreme court said that presidents have a broad base of community. um and depending on who is president of the united states, we're going to see how they exercise those powers. i think that a lot of democrats are concerned that donald trump is president of the united states. he might actually of use that power and might seek to expand executive authority. any way that's completely going to put separates the powers out of kilter, and might actually have a very damaging effect on democratic institutions. so that's why the election is important. and commonly, harris wins. that can be a mark, a stability for kind of establishment principles about governance. and then there's also the importance of des

weldon has advocated two issues which are concerning, one is he has propagated the idea that vaccines linked to autism, a single article in the lancet that was published in the late 1990s has been totally reputed, withdrawn, and that idea has never been proven and as a matter of fact, the opposite has been proven, there does not seem to be any link. and the mercury case, there used to be a preservative in some vaccines, it is no longer a preservative in the vaccines that are currently used, they haven't been used in the last 15 years, so that is not an issue, and again, the research does not bear him out, it is a different kind that has been used as a preservative, and it is important to stay up with the literature and stay up with how these vaccines are manufactured and how they are reserved and i hope -- i would say, in general, these appointments have been a mixed bag, they had some good ideas, they have some ideas that are very problematic, like the ones around vaccines, that i and others have written about.>> thank you so much for all of that.>>> next, what happens now after jack

he's also tapping former florida congressman dave weldon to lead the centers for disease control and prevention, a powerful agency that sets vaccine standards and responds to disease outbreaks. weldon, like robert f kennedy jr, has been skeptical of vaccine research and how the government tracks adverse reactions. all of these selections are cabinet positions and will need to be confirmed by the senate. christiane cordero, abc news, washington. >> ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says the war with russia could end sometime next year. he says his country is open to various proposals, but is waiting to see what president elect trump comes up with. zelenskyy believes trump will have proposals in january, and there will be a path to ending the war that's gone on now for more than two years. he is hopeful that there will be a diplomatic solution after nearly a decade of talks, a significant deal to help the environment. applause, hugs and high fives today in azerbaijan, as world leaders reached a deal to help fight climate change. the cop, 29, brings together environmental official

that includes trump's choice to lead the cdc, dave weldon, a former congressman and physician who couldccine ally for robert f. kennedy jr. joining us now, nbc news medical contributor dr. vin gupta. so glad you're with us for this important conversation. let's start with the big picture. if they are confirmed, robert f. kennedy jr. and surgeon general, the head of the cdc, others, this health team that trump is assembling, it seems like it is going to be a significant seat change how this nation views health and healthcare. what is your take? >> jonathan, that's exactly right. they have a chance to be serious professionals that believe in science and are going to really take their training in medical school, whatever they trained, and try to do the right thing or they can -- and in doing so moderate their stances or they can do what we all fear, which is really pursue divisive issues, let's take them, you know, by bucket. jonathan, the first is access to care. we know that mehmet oz, for example, has said multiple times over the last ten years that the noninsured or underinsured do not

trump also nominated doctor dave weldon to serve as director of the cdc. president says weldon will correct past errors of the cdc and focus on the prevention of disease. we also have a new surgeon general, doctor janette nesheiwat, a double board certified medical doctor who you might have seen right here on fox news. trump says nesheiwat will play a major role in making america healthy again. another familiar face doctor marty mccarey for fda commissioner. he'll be working with rfk to evaluate harmful chemicals poisoning our nation's food supply and drugs. nfl veterans scott turner, nominated to run the department of housing and urban development, hud turner worked with trump in his first term to transform distressed communities. turner, in case you're wondering, played quarterback for the redskins, chargers and broncos. congresswoman lori chavez-deremer is nominated for secretary of labor, and russell vought has been nominated as director of the office of management and budget. that was the guy that miller was singing his praises. vought was omb directo

also dave weldon, the former republican congressman there who is actually a teammate of robert f. kennedy jr. back in the early 2000s. rfk when he wrote a long magazine piece in 2005 touted the work of dave weldon around the why idea that there is a preservative in many vaccines that is linked to autism, which science does not bear out. that is being factual, but robert f. kennedy jr. is getting an ally to take on the cdc role. you also have the likes of marty makary, who will be leading the fda as the nominee to be the fda director. this is another potential ally it to robert f. kennedy jr. sebastian gorka, who has been very much of a right wing provocateur and right-wing media the last eight years is somebody who has been welcomed back into the administration after serving in 2017 as the steve bannon ally for several months. but you are seeing this cabinet be rounded out here. it is a very white cabinet and one that is full of donald trump allies. brooke rollins was one of those friday night picks as well. she led an outside organization back in the aftermath of the first trump

trump selected former republican congressman dave weldon of florida to lead the cdc. weldon is a medical doctor who has been critical of the agency and its vaccination program. he's also pushed a long debunked claim that a preservative used in some vaccines is linked to autism. meanwhile, tulsi gabbard who is president-elect trump's pick for national intelligence faces an uphill battle when it comes to her own confirmation, particularly among republicans on the senate intel committee. gabbard is set to visit capitol hill next week to meet with senators regarding her nomination. she's expected to face real scrutiny for comments she made that appear to echo russian disinformation as well as a 2017 visit to syria where she met with president bashar al assad. let's listen to what james lankford had to say about her nomination yesterday. >> does anything about her concern you? >> well, we'll have lots of questions. she met with bashar assad, we'll want to know the purpose and what the direction for that was. as a member of congress, we'll want to get a chance to talk about

even though you have medical experience or, like weldon, you have served on committees that oversee the agencies, that is important. they are alarmed not only by some of the views he has expressed. he has not only questioned vaccine safety when it comes to things like covid but regular childhood vaccines, the mmr vaccines. he has questioned the hpv vaccine. it is really alarming lawmakers and people in the public health world in addition to this sort of lack of executive experience. >> speaking of mmr disease, all three nominees will be big figures in informing americans about public health. donald trump's choices have spread vaccine and misinformation. even though the data is overwhelming in terms of effectiveness, when you compare the cases of major disease annually in the u.s. before, measles, mumps and whooping cough vaccines do now when they are marked -- to now when they are more widely available, a 99%-100% drop of cases annually. what impact will all three people potentially have on public health? >> it could be used. -- huge. we already have blic health experts already worried

and in the health care space trump picking another florida native, dave weldon, to lead the centers fortrol and prevention, a powerful agency that sets vaccine standards. similar to robert f. kennedy jr., weldon had been skeptical of vaccine research and how the government tracks adverse reactions. to lead the food and drug administration, dr. marty makary, a fox news regular who pushed back against covid lockdown. >> we've got poisoned food supplies. we've got pesticides, ultra processed foods. >> reporter: in one of his more controversial decisions, trump bringing back his longtime adviser, sebastian gorka, to the white house to serve as a senior director for counterterrorism at the national security council, a close alley of trump strategist, steve bannon, gorka has doubted the threat of white nationalism in the country and pushed for pardons of january 6th rioters. >> anyone who didn't, you know, hit a policeman or, you know, break through the doors actually completely a full and unconditional pardon, absolutely. >> reporter: now trump also naming oregon congresswoman lori chavez-de

last but not least, doctor dave weldon has been the pick. he's a veteran doctor former florida congressman. he's been chosen to to lead the cdc. the washington post reports that, um, that while he was in congress, he supported the idea that a vaccine preservative had caused a spike in autism cases around the world. obviously, that was later debunked by scientists. but i note that because that is similar to what we've heard from rfk himself >> and also when he was in congress, he proposed he proposed a bill which never made it out of committee that would have stripped some of vaccine safety oversight out of the cdc and put it in an independent part of hhs i think he's the least qualified of of these three nominees. while he while he is a doctor, he really has no expertise. first of all, in managing a large organization like like cdc with its 12,000 employees, uh i think the people most suited to run that agency are either infectious disease docs or epidemiology physicians. this organization is really tasked with helping to prevent disease in

infectious disease experts, very nervous about all of trump's picks, of course robert f kennedy and dave weldone former congressman trump has picked to run the cdc, they are all on a slate, a polite way of putting it would be unorthodox. >> so you would say specifically infectious disease doctors are concerned, what is it they are concerned about? >> robert f kennedy junior said he wants to cut the research budget for infectious disease, he says we are going to let infectious disease take a rest for the next eight years, experts know that a pandemic could happen at any time, we've got a bird flu outbreak in cattle and poultry and that is very worrisome, if bird flu were to jump from human to human, it would be far deadlier than covid. they are worried about nih, he stood in opposition to standard public health measures like masking and social distancing and school closures and experts who are more in the mainstream say that those measures saved a lot of lives and if we have another pandemic, they are very worried about how this trump team will respond. >> just to illustrate the extent to which

i hope that congressman weldon does a great job he's a career politician. could say is i don't know, good or bad. but he's also a doctor. i think he's got a lot of room to work there. >> i love how we need to move away from persuading with fear i remember you and i talking four years ago at the height of the covid crisis. and it was a pretty terrifying thing i realize you're a doctor all about data. but you know, i remember you and i both feeling kind of hopeless about where things were. when you look as we go forward with some of these picks and this new administration, are you a little bit more hopeful that we might actually stop persuading with fear and start leading with science actual science? >> well, i am hopeful i know that you know marty feels strongly about that. i think bobby kennedy feels strongly about using the data because again, he's not calling for bobby kennedy is not calling for banning vaccines he's saying prove the safety prove efficacy no one should want to use a drug on themselves or their child. it is not proven safe and again you do
