President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Surgeon General has not been well-received on social media over her past advocacy for unscientific and bureaucratic COVID measures.
Trump on Friday announced Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a former Fox News contributor and medical director at CityMD, would be his pick for Surgeon General.
This is a scary pick. I am sorry. I don’t understand it at all.

But many online pointed out that Nesheiwat pushed for repeated COVID vaccinations and boosters, masks, lockdowns, school closures, social distancing, and other harmful COVID policies heavily promoted by the likes of Dr. Anthony Fauci and other public health apparatchiks.
“Be safe & protect yourself this thanksgiving holiday. Flu shot, booster shot, first shot etc. If you’re not yet vaccinated, get tested before gatherings to minimize spread,” she wrote on Twitter in Nov. 2021.
Meet YOUR New U.S. Surgeon General … Dr Janette Nesheiwat — … the Female Fauci.

She was literally the chick they brought on Fox News to argue for getting triple-boosted.

Explain yourselves
THIS is your new Surgeon General
Covidians are delighted.
Real bang up job guys. https://t.co/3kO1zjV2Na
It’s time to turn up the pressure on Trump and hold him accountable for better appointments.

It’s okay to love your president, but do not silence yourselves.
The new Surgeon General is not what we voted for.
Demand better!
The Surgeon General pick is really bad and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Here is Trump’s pick for Surgeon General, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, claiming Covid vaccines were a “gift from God” that would stop you from dying.

If RFK Jr. gets roadblocked by these Big Pharma clowns then Trump failed bigly. pic.twitter.com/kyF4vOBl1u
I'm sorry, but the Surgeon General's pick is wrong. I believe Ben Carson should have been the pick. While I support Trump I believe whoever gave him this advice was wrong. It’s just my opinion personal opinion.

She even praised Facebook for censoring “anti-vaccine misinformation” and urged other social media companies to do the same.
This isn't just a bad pick, it's anti-American. Anyone who supports censorship of free speech is anti-American. What a disgrace. https://t.co/FpEg4YhI9j

Who on Trumps team told him that big pharma shill and censorship advocate @DoctorJanette was a good pick for Surgeon General?

The Senate should NOT confirm her.
Tag your Senator.pic.twitter.com/9d8pDfpHyE
Attorney Tom Renz suggested Nesheiwat receive the benefit of the doubt given many public health experts were “duped” into supporting the nonsense COVID measures in the early phase of the plandemic, but questioned “where she stands now” on those policies.
“The legit science and evidence are conclusive and it is unforgivable at this point for ANY doctor still defending the mRNA death shots,” he wrote on X. “I think the Doctor should speak on this. We the people WILL NOT STAND for more big pharma shills running our nations healthcare systems.”
I’m seeing this everywhere. A lot of people were duped into supporting these things in 2021… even including @realDonaldTrump who we all love coming in as President. The question I have is where she stands now. The legit science and evidence are conclusive and it is unforgivable… https://t.co/s44ZZtTpMj

Nesheiwat should clarify her positions on the COVID mRNA injection and other measures before she’s grilled before the Senate during her confirmation process, where some GOP senators will surely take issue with some of her past remarks.
Her current position should reflect that of Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Lapado, whose health department in September rebuked the need for Covid shots and listed several serious health consequences of the exotic technology in a public health bulletin.
