It's in the White House It is reportedly He retracted Dave Weldon's appointment and led the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hours before the Senator heard on Thursday.
Weldon was scheduled to testify before the Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Thursday. However, multiple reports Confirmed The nomination of a former lawmaker has been revoked. Weldon also has a long-standing career in internal medicine and has raised past concerns about the side effects of certain vaccines.
“The concern of many people is that it's probably true that a big pharma was behind this.”
in statement Weldon, issued Thursday, said his nomination was cancelled because he didn't have enough votes in the Senate.
“Twelve hours before the Senate's scheduled confirmation hearing, I received a call from an assistant at the White House informing me that the CDC nomination had been withdrawn because the CDC nomination had not had enough votes to confirm me,” Weldon said. “I then spoke with Bobby, the secretary of HHS. [sic] Kennedy was very angry. He was told the same thing and was told he was looking forward to working with me at the CDC. He said I was the perfect person for my job. ”
The Senate Aid Committee has a 12-11 partisan division with the Republican majority. That is, Weldon could afford to lose the vote of one GOP Senator on the committee. Weldon said Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who voted to put some of President Donald Trump's choices on the list, ultimately made a steady reservation on the candidate.
“I had a very pleasant meeting with her two weeks ago, where she did not express a reservation, but in a meeting with her staff on March 11th, they were suddenly very hostile. “They repeatedly condemn each other.[ed] I remember being a “deficiency gland,” despite reminding me that I actually give hundreds of vaccines in my medical practices every year. ”
Weldon also assumed that Louisiana Republican Chairman Sen. Bill Cassidy would vote for the candidate.
“Ironically, he's also an internist like me, and I've known him for years and thought we were friends,” Weldon said. “But he also claimed I was the 'anti-Bucks' and that he believed the vaccine would cause autism I had never mentioned. He actually asked me to withdraw my appointment.”
His appointment was revoked due to lack of support, but Weldon said the underlying actor was probably a big pharmaceutical company.
“The concern for a lot of people is that it was probably true that a big pharma was behind this,” Weldon said. “They are the most powerful lobby organization in Washington, DC, giving millions of dollars to politicians on either side of the aisle.”
“I learned the hard way,” Weldon continued, “Don't ruin the Pharma.”
