Doctor leading Trump's hantavirus response is a penile specialist who spread Covid conspiracies: 'Erection Connection'
Source: Independent
One of the physicians leading the Trump administration’s hantavirus response is a penile specialist with a history of spreading conspiracy theories about Covid, according to a new report.
Dr. Brian Christine, an assistant HHS secretary and a top official responsible for infectious disease policy, has emerged as a key figure in the government’s handling of the respiratory virus, which was identified aboard a cruise ship earlier this month.

Christine has scant experience in public health, the network reports. Before joining the Trump administration in November, he practiced as a urologist in Alabama, where he primarily specialized in penile implants. He hosted a show on YouTube dubbed “Erection Connection,” where he spoke about erectile dysfunction.
CNN reviewed Christine’s media appearances and social media posts and found that the physician — a four-star admiral — has repeatedly accused public health officials of targeting conservatives and amplified right-wing conspiracy theories.

My apologies to urologists almost everywhere. I am alive today because of two urologists, the first who surgically removed my cancerous prostate gland and surrounding tissues in 2014, and the second who has helped guide me through another 12 years of life since then because the cancer cells spread, but the spread is now under control and the cancer cells are at an undetectable level now.
