President Donald Trump has withdrawn the nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for the position of U.S. Surgeon General, one day before her scheduled confirmation hearing. The decision follows criticism from conservative activist Laura Loomer regarding Nesheiwat's credentials and her support for COVID-19 vaccines. Trump has announced Dr. Casey Means, a wellness influencer and holistic medicine physician focused on metabolic health and chronic disease prevention, as his new nominee for Surgeon General. Means, described by Trump as having 'impeccable MAHA credentials,' is expected to work closely with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an RFK Jr. ally, to address health issues in the country. Dr. Casey Means and her brother Calley are known allies of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This connection underscores the administration's focus on health initiatives aligned with MAHA principles.
