The Next Surgeon General: Anti-birth Control Influencer?? - Rebecca Watson (Skepchick)



Well, our fascist podcaster overlords have chosen another one of their brethren to help destroy America. This time it's for the position of surgeon general, which historically has been filled by a person with, I don't know, an impressive [sighs] history of working in medicine with an emphasis on public health. say uh the surgeon general is basically to be America's doctor providing guidance and education to the general public while also advising the administration on matters of public health.
...
So, what impressive person has Trump chosen? Casey Means, a social media influencer with no medical license who failed to finish her surgical residency and who thinks vaccines hurt children. And she claims that she finally found love at 35 years of age by hiring a psychic wishing on pennies and talking out loud to trees. But hey, she did get a sweet 2 million views on her episode of Joe Rogan that she did with her equally idiotic brother. And as we know by now, that is the most important credential you can have to get into any position in the Trump regime.
