The White House withdrew the nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for U.S. surgeon general after reports about her credentials, and President Trump announced a new pick, Dr. Casey Means.

Donald Trump changed his surgeon general pick, setting aside a nominee who backed COVID masking and social distancing after Laura Loomer post.

Casey Means, a key ally to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., replaces Janette Nesheiwat, a physician criticized for promoting coronavirus vaccines.
