Trump picks qualified, normal health leader to head CDC; experts still cautious

Trump's selection of a qualified, normal health leader to head the CDC signals a potential shift, yet experts remain cautious after the agency's trust eroded by 35% since 2020. However, skeptics note that the agency still faces a 22% budget cut proposal, and the nominee's independence may be tested by a divided Congress. The appointment represents a rare moment of bipartisan hope, but the path to restoring credibility remains steep.
