The White House has named a replacement for the director of the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a day after its previous leader was forced out of the job.

I'm sure that's going to work out great for the rest of us.

Wow, that's real.
Scary as it may seem.
Vance, in exclusive interview, says he's ready to be president while hailing Trump's health
www.usatoday.com
... The first time Vice President JD Vance walked into the Oval Office, he noticed the drapes ("dark and gloomy") -- but he insists he's not measuring them for a future turn behind the Resolute Desk.
"I've gotten a lot of good on-the-job training over the last 200 days," Vance said in an exclusive interview with USA TODAY on Aug. 27, when asked if he was ready to assume the role of commander in chief. ...
