New Surgeon General Nominee

  • 🎯 The Trump administration's pick for Surgeon General, Casey Means, is a compatriot of RFK Jr. and was nominated after the initial pick, Janette Newsome, was "lumored."
  • 💡 RFK Jr.'s running mate reportedly had assurances that neither Casey nor Cali Means would be chosen, making the pivot to Casey Means seem strange.

Alternative Medicine and "Wellness Entrepreneurship"

  • 🧠 Casey Means is described as a "wellness entrepreneur" who dropped out of her ENT residency to pursue alternative health.
  • ⚠️ This background raises concerns, especially given the prevalence of new-age or alternative medicine among RFK Jr.'s supporters.
  • 🔬 Examples of extreme views include the idea that "the sun doesn't cause cancer. Sunscreen does."

Potential Political Ramifications

  • 🎭 The nomination is seen as an attempt to go "even crazier" than the initial pick, potentially alienating moderates.
  • 📉 There's a humorous speculation that if the testosterone replacement therapy supply were disrupted, it could significantly impact the emotional state of many in the right-wing movement.
