"Dr. Casey Means, a wellness influencer and key figure in the 'Make America Healthy Again' movement, faced intense questioning about her views on vaccines and financial ties during her Senate hearing."
"As March draws to a close, Means's nomination has languished in the Senate with speculation growing that she lacks votes from the HELP committee to advance."
"The White House issued a statement backing Means's nomination, highlighting her career focused on America's chronic disease epidemic and the failures of the healthcare system."
The United States has not had a surgeon general since January, as Dr. Casey Means' nomination remains unconfirmed. After her Senate hearing in late February, concerns arose regarding her views on vaccines and financial ties to wellness companies. As March ends, her nomination appears to lack sufficient support in the Senate. President Trump has not ruled out the possibility of nominating someone else. The White House has expressed support for Means, emphasizing her focus on chronic disease and healthcare system issues.
