Surgeon General Pick Grilled on Vaccines in Hearing

President Donald Trump's nominee for surgeon general, Dr. Casey Means, defended her views on vaccines, autism, and public health in a Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday, but her responses underscored the steep challenges she faces in winning support from Democrats.

Means, a physician aligned with the Make America Healthy Again movement, sought to frame her approach as focused on chronic disease and patient empowerment rather than vaccine skepticism.
