Wellness influencer Dr. Casey Means’ nomination for U.S. surgeon general is facing delays following a contentious confirmation hearing where senators raised concerns about her vaccine stance and lack of experience. Despite support from the White House and the Make America Healthy Again movement, her prospects are dim, particularly due to hesitations from key Republican senators who require further assurance before backing her nomination. Meanwhile, objections have emerged about her inactive medical license and past health claims. The lengthy confirmation process has been unusually drawn out, noting that it’s taken nearly 300 days since her nomination in May, far longer than typical for similar positions.
