That role requires trust, scientific integrity, and the courage to speak plainly about lifesaving medical care. But during her Senate confirmation hearing, Trump’s nominee Casey Means refused to give straightforward answers about vaccines. When asked whether she would encourage parents to vaccinate their children against measles with the MMR vaccine, she would not say yes. Instead, she deflected, telling parents to consult their pediatricians rather than giving clear public health guidance. Senators also asked her whether the flu vaccine reduces severe illness, hospitalization, or death in children. Again, she refused to give a direct answer, even after being pressed repeatedly during the hearing. The Surgeon General must be a strong and credible voice for science. Vaccine misinformation has already caused immense harm, undermining public trust and putting communities at risk of preventable disease outbreaks. The country cannot afford leadership that dodges basic scientific facts. Casey Means has built her public profile as a wellness influencer aligned with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a figure widely criticized for promoting vaccine skepticism. Her performance during the confirmation hearing raised serious concerns about whether she would clearly defend science when it matters most. The Senate must reject this nomination and demand a Surgeon General who will stand firmly for science, evidence-based medicine, and the health of the American people.
