![☎️Daily Action Call, Monday, March 2nd, Oppose Anti-Vax Influencer Casey Means for US Surgeon General ☎️
📚 Background 📚
👉🏻The Surgeon General plays an Important role in public health, as the leading spokesperson on public health and oversees the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, a team of over 6,000 public health professionals.
👉🏻President 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 Anti-Vax sycophant who belongs nowhere near the Department of Health and Human Services, particularly amid an accelerating deadly measles outbreak.
👉🏻A credible leader in public health is essential in this role, as the Surgeon General works to protect the health of the entire country. The Senate must demand a competent, scientifically grounded appointee for our nation’s doctor.
📱 Senators
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to urge [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. We need a credible public health leader who is competent, scientifically grounded and will work to protect the health of the entire country.
