Dr. Casey Means' Surgeon General Confirmation Hearing Postponed Due to Labor

Dr. Casey Means' virtual Senate confirmation hearing for Surgeon General was postponed because she went into labor with her first child, with a new date yet to be determined.

Means, co-founder of the glucose monitoring app Levels, was nominated by Trump after a previous nominee was withdrawn, despite her inactive medical license and lack of government experience.

An AP investigation revealed Means often did not disclose potential personal gains when recommending health products online, leading to scrutiny over her qualifications and potential conflicts of interest.

As per an ethics agreement, Means pledged to resign from Levels, divest stock, and cease all monetized activities, including book promotion and social media posts, if confirmed.

If confirmed, Means would promote a public health agenda focused on scrutinizing vaccines, food supply, and prescription drugs, advocating for alternative solutions to metabolic dysfunction.
