Donald Trump nominated Casey Means as his second pick for US surgeon general, withdrawing his first nominee due to concerns over credentials. Means, a 37-year-old medical entrepreneur with an inactive license, gained influence in right-wing wellness circles by advocating for healthier food and criticizing mainstream medicine. Trump's choice indicates the significant role of health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., although Means faces skepticism about her qualifications from the same factions that challenged the previous nominee. Experts suggest caution regarding her nomination due to her lack of active medical credentials and leadership experience in the medical community.
We should not toss out the window everything Casey is saying, but I would proceed with caution given her training, said Prof Gabby Headrick.
Means's nomination is a testament to the influence of health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr in the administration.
I don't know her. I listened to the recommendation of Bobby, said Trump.
Means is a 37-year-old Los Angeles-based medical entrepreneur who shot to prominence in right-leaning wellness circles.
