STORY #1 - Trump's new Surgeon General pick is facing backlash after resurfaced clips show her repeatedly urging Americans to receive COVID injections. The same injections that are now tied to record injury reports.

It's quickly catching up with her as the nomination for Surgeon General puts everything under the microscope, raising serious questions about judgment at the highest level of public health.

During the COVID crisis, Dr. Nicole Saphier consistently pushed mass vaccination, telling older and vulnerable Americans they should "absolutely" get the shot, and later urging people to take any version available while claiming near-perfect effectiveness.

Dr. Saphier doubled down during interviews, calling the vaccines "very safe" and explaining she wished she could have taken more. As recently as 2024, she confirmed her stance hadn't changed.

Now, federal reporting systems show over 1.6 million adverse event reports, more than 39,000 deaths, and over 220,000 hospitalizations linked to the COVID injections, making them one of the most reported pharmaceutical events in U.S. history.

Critics argue this goes beyond policy differences—it cuts right to the core of trust, transparency, and accountability in modern medicine.
