Trump's Surgeon General Nominee Faces Senate Confirmation Hearing
The Spin
Democratic narrative
Casey Means proved herself dangerously unqualified during her confirmation hearing, refusing to give straight answers on basic medical facts like vaccine safety and the flu vaccine's effectiveness. Her deflections on birth control risks, her promotion of products without disclosure, and her alarming suggestion that decades of autism-vaccine research should be questioned reveal someone more interested in wellness influencer talking points popular in MAGA circles than protecting public health.
Republican narrative
Casey Means delivered powerful testimony exposing how medical schools ignore nutrition, ultra-processed foods, and environmental toxins killing Americans while Big Pharma profits from sickness. Her emphasis on informed consent and root causes over band-aid treatments represents exactly the healthcare revolution this country desperately needs, and her courage to leave traditional medicine and confront the chronic disease crisis makes her the perfect choice to lead MAHA's mission.
