Dr. Casey Means, President Trump's nominee for U.S. surgeon general, has highlighted corruption in the health and food sectors driven by special interests. However, she has also promoted various health products benefiting herself financially, raising concerns about transparency and integrity. A review shows she failed to consistently disclose her financial ties while advocating for specific wellness products, leading to doubts about her impartiality in a crucial public health role. As an aspiring surgeon general, her business dealings may conflict with her responsibilities to provide unbiased health guidance.
"I fear that she will be cultivating her next employers and her next sponsors or business partners while in office," said Jeff Hauser, executive director of the Revolving Door Project, a progressive ethics watchdog.
"There are significant concerns regarding her transparency when promoting products that financially benefit her, undermining the integrity expected of a surgeon general."
Dr. Casey Means has a history of promoting health products, some linked to her financial interests, raising questions about conflicts in her future role as surgeon general.
Despite criticizing industry influence in healthcare, Means has engaged in partnerships that could create perceived biases in her upcoming position as the nation’s surgeon general.
