Dr Nicole Saphier, the third person nominated to be surgeon general by President Donald Trump , has been hurriedly deleting old social media posts critical of his administration, according to a report.

Saphier – a Fox News medical contributor, working radiologist, and author of books including Make America Healthy Again – was given the nod by Trump after the nominations of Dr Janette Nesheiwat and Dr Casey Means had to be withdrawn over a lack of congressional support.

However, CNN reports that, despite her MAGA leanings, the doctor posted a number of messages questioning the Trump administration’s policies on issues like autism and vaccines in 2025 and earlier this year.

The 44 year-old nominee also publicly questioned the president’s reassurances regarding his own wellbeing and fitness.
