Apparently she lied about her medical school?   That should absolutely be a contraindication to being named surgeon general!  Fauci lied but so did she according to the report.

I went to Grenada for 2 yr then finished at UMDNJ Rutgers in NJ

If anyone asks me I would tell them this and not say I went to Harvard medical school.

OTOH she is photogenic   , , ,

Glad her dishonesty was caught.

Wonder if FOX will still use her?

" Glad her dishonesty was caught "

and how could someone nominated for US SURGEON GENERAL  would be so foolish to think no one would check into her credentials?

of course, she was not expected to think - simply say whatever DJT tells her to say and otherwise never deviate from HIS script.

Not sure that is fair.

Trump has a rather poor record of caring about proper vetting:  Herschel Walker, et al. 

Presumably she fibbed to FOX-- where she first came to attention-- as well.   Were she to suddenly be precise with Team Trump she would blow it with FOX as well haha.

Script?  Generally, tis a good thing when the team is a Team, yes?.

I don't really know if and how much we are being ripped off by PBMs as they are not "transparent".  I only know that the lack of transparency which involves such stupendous amounts of money is akin to someone screaming off a mountaintop echoeing through all the valleys below THIS LOOKS LIKE A COVERUP OF VAST FRAUD.

Seems reasonable to conclude the pharmas are in cahoots somehow.

If I am wrong I will trudge back to the mountaintop and scream I WAS WRONG.
The PBMs and pharmas are 99 % ethical and justified in what they are doing.

Want to make a bet as to which way it will turn ?
