### Headline: Surgeon General Pick Plays Vaccine Dodgeball, Finally Makes a Statement
Surgeon General nominee Casey Means recently found herself in hot water after not giving a straightforward endorsement of the measles vaccine during her confirmation hearing. You know, the kind of hearing where you’d expect clear answers on public health issues. Instead, she managed to sidestep the question like a pro.
But don’t worry, she’s cleared things up—sort of. In some written responses that were “obtained” (read: leaked) by MS NOW, Means finally declared her belief that people should indeed get the vaccine. Wow, what a revelation! Meanwhile, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle were having a meltdown over her initial waffling. Apparently, saying that vaccinations “save lives” wasn’t enough for them to feel warm and fuzzy about her nomination.
So, to sum it up: a nominee for a crucial health position couldn’t muster enough courage to directly endorse a vaccine during a critical hearing. And then, after some pressure, she finally says what everyone wanted to hear in a written statement. How reassuring. It’s almost like we’re living in a world where clear answers and accountability should be standard, but here we are.
Is it too much to ask for straightforwardness from someone who might be in charge of our health messaging?
