While President Trump’s new nominee to run the CDC has dismayed vaccine skeptics, the pick has drawn high praise from the likes of Dr. Anne Zink, Alaska’s former Chief Medical Officer, who persistently pushed Covid jabs and multiple boosters on infants, children, pregnant women and the elderly.
Earlier this month, Trump picked Dr. Erica Schwartz to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Schwartz – who holds degrees in medicine, law, and public health – is a career veteran of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. Having served as Deputy Surgeon General and Chief Medical Officer for the Coast Guard, her resume is a blueprint of the “medical establishment.”
Supporters, such as Zink, however, see her as a perfect pick.
“Health policy is political, but health itself should never be partisan,” Zink told The New York Times. “To rebuild the trustworthiness of the CDC, the country needs leaders grounded in service, science and the public.”
Perhaps one of the most controversial figures in Alaska public life, Zink served as the state’s top medical officer from 2018 to 2024, during which time she maligned those who expressed concerns about the experimental Covid shots, while unquestioningly echoing every new and changing recommendation by Dr. Anthony Fauci and the CDC when it came to pushing Covid jabs and multiple boosters on infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and just about everyone else – healthy or not.
Since stepping down as Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer in 2024, Dr. Anne Zink has been busy on the national stage, working to undermine those who point out serious concerns about vaccine injuries.
She is yet to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Murkowski is a ranking member of the committee but has not yet publicly endorsed or criticized Schwartz.
Dr. Schwartz has a career-long commitment to vaccinations as the solution to disease prevention, and she was instrumental in enforcing vaccination programs within the military and later helped direct the federal Covid jab rollouts.
Her selection by Trump drew immediate backlash from the anti-vaccine community with high-profile critics, such as vaccine-safety lawyer Aaron Siri, claiming her history of issuing military and civilian vax mandates reflects a lack of “basic ethics and morals to lead the CDC.”
“This agency does not need another cheerleader for industry; it needs a regulator over industry,” Siri emphasized earlier this month. “Her prior promotion, let alone mandates, of nearly a dozen different vaccines leave little hope she will objectively oversee CDC’s vaccine program which has, between 1986 and the 2026, gone from 3 injections to 29 injections, including in utero, by an infant’s first birthday, while chronic childhood disease has gone from under 10% to over 40% of children, most related to immune system dysregulation.”
While Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. congratulated Schwartz on her nomination, he simultaneously emphasized that he aims to work with her to “restore trust, accountability, and scientific integrity at the @CDCgov so we can return it to its core mission and Make America Healthy Again.”
Dr. Zink’s vocal support for Schwartz highlights a brewing divide within the nation’s health community and signals a potential pivot within the Trump administration.
A well-known critic of many childhood vaccines, Kennedy has been championed as a reformer who would push back against Big Pharma and the medical establishment, while putting renewed focus on healthy diets, lifestyle changes and chronic disease prevention.
Schwartz is seen as a return to the old status quo.
She is yet to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Murkowski is a ranking member of the committee but has not yet publicly endorsed or criticized Schwartz.
If approved, Schwartz would become the agency’s fourth leader in roughly a year.

The problem with the mentality of doctors is that they are always surrounded by sick people. This is their whole world so they think that all of the world is sick. They don’t get true exposure to healthy people so they believe they can apply the “cure” to everyone, for their own good of course.
Resist!
Criminally charge both of the dr’s.
