Yes, there is a fight right now among MAHA activists. Yes, it has to do with the announcement on May 7 2025 that “wellness influencer” and bestselling author Casey Means was replacing Dr Janette Nesheiwat as President Trump’s nominee for the office of Surgeon General. Dr Nesheiwat, it emerged, had misrepresented her medical credentials.
A post by former Vice Presidential Candidate Nicole Shanahan, without whose financial and strategic support for RFK Jr’s candidacy, neither he nor President Trump would be in power right now, has been widely circulated. Shanahan found it “strange” that a direct assurance to her from RFK Jr, in exchange for her support for his confirmation,

I have never heard of Naomi wolf until five minutes ago. Apparently she's a DEMOCRAT who is out to cause trouble? I'll wait for my Lcom friend's to comment

It would be terrible if the country didn't have a surgeon general. What would we do!

Naomi observes factors about DOGE, Musk and the Means' siblings that are not new or original.
Yet she opines only bad motives to all those three.
She sees DOGE, Musk and Means as ways Trump can cut waste, so they are bad and Big Gov't is good.
She also sees monsters under beds in terms of scary data condensing.

As OP stated, Ms. Wolf was a very lefty Democrat but after the Covid Scam, she saw the light so to speak. As for Musk and Silicon Valley and the Means family getting into our personal data, well, if not the federal government having access and mis-using it - how is that any different than a private company? Either way, government or private sector - we all have been compromised by all the personal data that is out there - just waiting to be exploited.

You can almost hear the crackling of tin foil hats and the microphones humming in your walls as you read this. The message is that democrats only want to protect you while Trump and Elon want your innermost secrets so they can blab them to the world.

While I've enjoyed watching and reading about Naomi's conversion from the left, I often think she (and Elizabeth Nickson) spends too much time running down Internet rabbit holes looking for vast and mysterious cabals and conspiracies. There are enough evil and avaricious people in the world not to have to look under rocks for more sinister goings-on.
As a former software engineer, while I understand the value of data, I also know how difficult it is to gather, collate, and organize when dealing with disparate databases designed by database admins (who generally didn't understand the business), hosted on ancient or incompatible server platforms. Throw government systems designed by the lowest bidder into the mix, and I don't lose much sleep at night worrying about the "tech bros" figuring out my age, weight, or make of car I drive...
I'm much more concerned about rampant illegal immigration, the potential for world war, and the incessant march of Islam across the Western world.

#5, Ms. Wolf is not promoting Dems as the answer. She has done much writing exposing the Dems. And the fact is, she's far from the only conservative sounding the alarm about Casey Means. As some of them have pointed out, there seems to be someone intentionally feeding misinformation to Trump about some of his cabinet picks. A great example is Mike Waltz, who held a position he never should have, along his assistant, Mr. Wong, whose wife helped prosecute J6 prisoners, and who together were responsible for the Signal app fiasco. There have been some curious pics, including Janette Nesheiwat, who was all about the vaccines and lockdowns, and it does seem someone is trying to sabotage Trump from the inside.

Casey Means is a 1000x step up from the prior administration, so I am thankful for any replacement. I will adore her for her authenticity.

Like Maxine Waters who whined "Who knows what they have on us?", Wolf fears the integration of the Federal Government's multiple, opague, pre-Musk information silos. The cold fact is that unless it is possible to analyze information across Federal databases "eliminating waste, fraud and abuse in Government programs" will continue to be an empty promise.

A year ago, I was informed By the DOJ that all of my health information held by Medicare was provided to a CONTRACTOR by DOJ and subsequently stolen in a ransomware attack on that contractor. Don't tell me that our data was secure prior to Trump/Elon! I will never get a straight answer as to why the DOJ had access to my Medicare records.

This hysterical woman gives me the creeps. She is seriously self-referential and makes allegations that seem to reflect her personal opinions without much to back them up. I got tired of her ranting.

Nesheiwat was not a good choice. I saw her every day on Fox during the Covid pan fiasco.

When I saw that Means had written this, I knew she was a whackadoo.
"I set up a small meditation shrine in my house and prayed to photos of my ancestors asking for support on my personal journey, and wrote mantras and manifestations on small pieces of paper and tucked them around the shrine.
I went to weekly group meditations and spiritual lectures at Self Realization Fellowship in order to tune in with Spirit.
I worked with a spiritual medium who helped me try to connect with my spirit guides for support and guidance.
I did full moon ceremonies with grounded, powerful women where we called in abundance and let go of what wasn’t serving us, and amplified each others’ dreams. (I love this book: Lunar Abundance)
I hiked alone and talked (literally out loud) to the trees, letting them know I was ready for partnership, and asking them if they could help.
I made wishes on heads-up pennies, I made wishes when the clock struck 11:11, and I made wishes on the first stars I saw in the night sky!
I pursued visualization techniques like the “Silva Method” that helped me “see” my visions for the future.
I did plant medicine experiences with trusted guides and wrote extensively about my experience and insights."

When did we decide we needed a surgeon for the whole country? I don't know what they do.

This is scary. I used to think Naomi Wolf was a bubblehead, but after she ditched the left she has been anything but. It looks like there is some person or entity pushing Casey Means into this role. She is supposedly all for natural medicine yet never mentions the vaccines. She is the owner of some lucrative companies which are connected to big high-tech companies whose aim is to acquire our health data. There is much more here, including some very negative items about Elon Musk and DOGE.
