Oppose Anti-Vax Influencer Casey Means for US Surgeon General
The US Surgeon General oversees the US Public Health Service, provides health advice, and is known as “the nation’s doctor.” Donald Trump’s latest US Surgeon General nominee, wellness influencer Casey Means, has a lapsed medical license and a concerning history of promoting lies about life-saving childhood immunizations.
Means has correctly expressed alarm over the troubling epidemic of chronic illnesses in the United States. However, many of her proposed remedies, from raw milk to the aforementioned reduction in childhood vaccinations to dubious supplements that she sells, ignore the root causes of poor health in pursuit of pseudoscientific “cures” that conveniently make her money.
Means is an antivax quack who belongs nowhere near the Department of Health and Human Services, particularly amid an accelerating deadly measles outbreak. The Senate must demand a competent, scientifically grounded appointee for our nation’s doctor.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to oppose Casey Means’ appointment to US Surgeon General. Means is an influencer with a lapsed medical license who has promoted dangerous lies about childhood vaccines. She is wholly unfit for the Surgeon General position.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
