Dr. Remington Nevin, medical director of St. Clair County, is challenging government authority and medical precepts with his conservative views. As a Johns Hopkins-trained epidemiologist, Nevin exposed problems with the anti-malaria drug mefloquine while working as an Army doctor. Now, he's addressing various issues, including vaccines, fluoride, and government-provided medical care. Nevin sees himself as an activist undoing decades-long Democratic influence over public health. Critics describe him as a populist, comparing him to Robert Kennedy Jr. Supporters praise his leadership, while detractors accuse him of abusing his power.
