"Casey Means, President Donald Trump’s pick for surgeon general, has achieved an unlikely feat: uniting vaccine skeptics and mainstream medical advocates against her nomination.

Activists in both camps are now urging senators to vote her down."

The surgeon general nominee can’t get people to stop asking her about vaccines

Casey Means alarmed immunization advocates at her confirmation hearing, but some opponents don’t trust her either.

Dear Senator:

Please vote no on the nomination of Casey Means as surgeon general, should that nomination come out of committee.

I want my surgeon general to have completed a residency, hold an active medical license, and have practiced medicine for at least a decade. The surgeon general should also have public health expertise.

Casey Means meets none of these standards.

I do not want my surgeon general to be someone who profits from unregulated health products sold online.

I do not want my surgeon general to be a vaccine skeptic, and Means repeatedly refused to answer a direct question about whether she would encourage mothers to vaccinate their children against measles.

Herd immunity is a public good, one that helps ensure the health of every American. We need a surgeon general who understands and honors this.

Tell your colleagues on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee to vote no on her nomination. Should the committee nominate her for surgeon general, then I expect you to loudly and actively oppose that nomination.

I look forward to your response.

DO NOT CONFIRM CASEY MEANS!

The US doesn’t need a surgeon general who is sideways on science

Casey Means dropped out of her residency program.

She’s not a practicing physician.

She’s a “wellness influencer”.

She wants you to vibe your way to better health.

She’s skeptical of birth control, Advil and vaccines.

She’s not just unqualified, she’s dangerous.

The wellness to eugenics pipeline is well documented:

Why The New Surgeon General Pick Might Be The Most Dangerous One Yet

Wellness "Influencer" Casey Means has been selected as the next US Surgeon General, despite having an inactive medical license. Her viewpoints range from nonsensical to absurdly dangerous.

Too bad the #confirmation hearing is over for #SurgeonGeneral nominee #CaseyMeans. All the @[email protected] could have done air quotes every time they called her "Doctor" Means. We can start now of course. @[email protected] @[email protected]

Shouldn’t the Surgeon General ...
Shouldn’t the Surgeon General Have a Medical License?

Trump nominated wellness influencer Casey Means, who can’t even answer simple questions about vaccines, as America’s top doctor.

Esquire
Surprise, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, has nominated a kook to be surgeon-general of the US:
"In one of her newsletters, Means once said, 'When it comes to a question like raw milk, I want to be free to form a relationship with a local farmer, understand his integrity, look him in the eyes, pet his cow, and then decide if I feel safe to drink the milk from his farm.' While this is perhaps not the best test for listeria anyone has ever come up with, I can honestly say that after trying to understand Casey Means’s integrity, looking her in the eye and (metaphorically) petting her cow, I would not feel safe with her as the Surgeon General of the United States." -- Robyn Pennacchia, Wonkette

Surgeon General Nominee Casey Means Nowhere Near As Good At Faking 'Moderate' As She Thinks She Is

The kook always comes out eventually.

Casey Means, trump's nominee for Surgeon General, faced Senate's questions at her nomination hearing.
Means has cast doubt on vaccines, birth control, and anti-depressants, rejecting evidence based research findings.
Has been criticized for conflicts of interest. She's also a fan of magic mushrooms, spirit guides, and full moon ceremonies. Says that the US is sick "from a broken heart".
