As Bugs Bunny, the cartoon character, says, “What’s Up Doc?” Except in this case, the Republican, or is it Trumpian, or is RFKian nominee for Surgeon General is not a current licensed doctor.
“Surgeon general nominee Casey Means grilled on vaccines, pesticides in hearing.” “Means, a physician, has a medical license in Oregon that she voluntarily placed in inactive status, according to the state medical board, which means she cannot practice medicine in Oregon as of the beginning of 2024.” (Washington Post).
Brain Worm, I snort heroine off of a dirty toilet seat. Kennedy wants this physician impersonator to become the nation’s Surgeon General. One must, of course, first beg the question why the Secretary of HHS is himself not a licensed physician, and if one follows that logic, one must wonder how a Surgeon General is not a real doctor?

“As surgeon general, I would call on every American and the Public Health Service to join in a great national healing — one that halts preventable chronic disease, makes healthy living the easiest choice, honors the body’s connection to the environment, and puts America back on the road towards wholeness and health,” she said.

THE GREAT NATIONAL HEALING. As in, we all become our own physicians. We all do our own version of medical school. We all decide what science is, what medical science and if we don’t like it, we decide what SCIENCE AND MEDICAL IS NOT!
“A Washington Post examination last year found that Means had made over half a million dollars from partnerships with companies that her financial forms described as selling “diagnostic testing,” “herbal remedies and wellness products” and “teas, supplements, and elixirs” from 2024 into the summer of 2025, according to her financial disclosures. Legal and advertising experts told The Post last fall that they were concerned about whether Means clearly disclosed her ties to some brands.” (Washington Post)
Means will most likely be approved by the Republican Majority, of course, not based on her education or experience, but merely by the fact that the only thing that matters is not the health and welfare of the public, but the health and welfare of the Republican politicians.
