Trump has nominated Casey Means to be US Surgeon General. Although Means graduated from Stanford Medical School, she did not finish her residency and is not a licensed physician. Her most relevant qualification appears to be that she is the “sister of White House senior adviser Calley Means, one of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s top advisers, and a prominent “Make America Healthy Again” influencer in her own right.” As to her stance on vaccines, in response to a question by Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, she “declined to say if she’d encourage other mothers to get their children vaccinated against measles.” Vaccines keep my family safe, and parents should be encouraged to vaccinate their children. No Democratic Senators should support Means. She is unqualified and a bad choice. Vote no.
