Trump's surgeon general nominee faces GOP doubts
Ars Technica·
President Trump's nominee for surgeon general, Dr. Casey Means, is encountering significant opposition from Republican senators. Concerns center on her medical qualifications, including not completing a residency, her past anti-vaccine sentiments, and her career shift towards wellness influencing. Several key Republican senators have expressed doubts, potentially blocking her confirmation. Means has been hesitant to explicitly endorse vaccines and has promoted alternative health advice, drawing criticism from lawmakers who prioritize established medical science and public health. Her nomination's future remains uncertain as the Senate weighs her suitability for the nation's top doctor role.
