Dr. Casey Means, nominated for U.S. surgeon general, has criticized corruption in health systems yet profits from promoting wellness products. Despite her claims of recommending only vetted items, she has failed to consistently disclose her financial connections to these products, which raises ethical questions. Experts fear that her business interests may conflict with the mission of the surgeon general, particularly regarding the obligation to provide unbiased health information to the public amidst growing scrutiny over influencer accountability in health communications.
"While advocating for better health, I have concerns that she may prioritize her business interests over public health imperatives as surgeon general."
"Her financial interests in promoting wellness products create a significant conflict, especially considering the role demands ethical transparency in public health."
