Mientras la administración Trump intentaba tranquilizar a los estadounidenses esta semana asegurándoles que un brote de hantavirus suponía poco riesgo para la población, el Dr. Brian Christine, uno de los principales funcionarios de salud pública a cargo de la política de enfermedades infecciosas, compareció ante los periodistas en Nebraska prometiendo una respuesta “basada en la ciencia” y “basada en la transparencia”.

Antes de unirse a la administración Trump el año pasado, Christine era un urólogo de Alabama especializado en implantes de pene.

Tiene poca experiencia en salud pública y un historial de comentarios de extrema derecha y promoción de teorías conspirativas.

Ha afirmado que la pandemia de covid-19 dio pie a una conspiración gubernamental para controlar a la población, comparó la administración Biden con la Alemania nazi y sugirió que la vacuna contra el covid-19 tuvo poca efectividad para detener la pandemia.

En una ocasión, presentó un programa de YouTube llamado “Erection Connection”, una serie profesional de YouTube sobre disfunción eréctil dirigida a otros urólogos.

Una revisión realizada por CNN de episodios de podcasts archivados, publicaciones en redes sociales y apariciones en la radio reveló que Christine presentó repetidamente a las instituciones de salud pública, al Gobierno federal y a las políticas de la era de la pandemia como herramientas utilizadas para atacar a los conservadores y a los estadounidenses religiosos.

En comentarios realizados en un podcast que presentó durante su campaña para el Senado estatal de Alabama en 2022, Christine cuestionó la legitimidad de las elecciones de 2020.

También abogó por la prohibición del aborto sin excepciones en casos de violación o incesto, y sugirió que podría haber habido un esfuerzo mundial en el que participaran George Soros y figuras asociadas con el “Gran Reinicio” del Foro Económico Mundial para utilizar la pandemia y obligar a las pequeñas empresas a cerrar.

Christine criticó repetidamente las medidas obligatorias contra el covid-19, argumentando que las vacunas no prevenían ni la enfermedad ni la transmisión, a pesar de las pruebas de que las vacunas evitaron millones de muertes.

Andrew Nixon, subsecretario adjunto de Relaciones con los Medios del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Estados Unidos, declaró a CNN: “El subsecretario de Salud, el almirante Christine, sigue centrado en ejecutar la agenda del presidente Trump y del secretario Kennedy para que Estados Unidos vuelva a ser saludable y cumplir con la orden ejecutiva del presidente Trump para proteger a nuestros hijos contra la mutilación química y quirúrgica”.

Christine, un cirujano que pasó directamente de la práctica privada a ayudar a dirigir la respuesta de salud pública del Gobierno federal, asumió el cargo de subsecretario de salud el pasado mes de noviembre.

Si bien The Washington Post ya había informado sobre algunas de sus opiniones durante su proceso de nominación, CNN revisó varios episodios adicionales de su podcast que aparentemente habían sido eliminados de YouTube y Apple Podcasts antes de su confirmación, pero que seguían estando disponibles públicamente en Vimeo, donde habían
