Two Trump health nominees crash and burn in tense Senate hearing
摘要
在参议院健康委员会听证会上，特朗普政府提名的两位高级卫生官员人选——疾病控制与预防中心主任候选人埃里卡·施瓦茨和防范与应对事务助理部长候选人肖恩·考夫曼——均遭遇严峻质询。施瓦茨拥有医学、公共卫生和法律学位，曾担任海岸警卫队首席医疗官及特朗普首届政府副卫生部长，其专业背景获公共卫生专家认可。
Two nominees for high-profile health roles in the Trump administration faced scrutiny from the Senate health committee Wednesday—and both crashed and burned in their own special ways.
The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) scrutinized Erica Schwartz, the nominee for director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Sean Kaufman, up for the role of Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.
Schwartz's assignment
Public health experts were "cautiously optimistic" about Schwartz's nomination. She is well respected and holds views in line with evidence-based medicine, including being supportive of vaccinations—in contrast to anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom she will serve under. She is also highly qualified for the role, with a medical degree, a master's degree in public health, and a law degree. She's had a long career as a Navy Officer, and previously held the roles of Chief Medical Officer for the US Coast Guard and deputy surgeon general in the first Trump administration.
