Surgeon General Nominee Tries To Weasel Out Of Endorsing Flu Vaccine … from Crooks & Liars NewsHound Ellen

“Dr.” Casey Means is not a physician. She’s a former physician who doesn’t even have a valid medical license. She’s really a wellness influencer, author and supporter of Secretary Robert “Cokehead” Kennedy. And just like her completely unqualified buddy, she seems OK with Americans dying from preventable causes, too.

One of the many exchanges that should prompt us all to demand our senators keep this unqualified quackster from ever setting foot near our public health system occurred during questioning by Sen. Tim Kaine.

Kaine asked Means whether she agreed with Kennedy’s January statement that “There is no evidence that the flu vaccine prevents serious disease or that it prevents hospitalization or deaths in children.”

That simple question should have prompted a simple answer. But it was obviously quite the dilemma for Means. She almost certainly knows the flu vaccine does exactly what Kennedy claims it doesn’t do. But saying so could put her at crosshairs with Ol’ Cokehead. Disagreeing could hurt her among the science-based crowd.

So, she dodged and deflected.

Kaine wasn’t having it.

MEANS: I have not personally seen that quote or that article.
