Surgeon General nominee Means discusses RSV vaccine safety and whether she would contradict epidemiologist Hogue with Senator Murray at confirmation hearing

Washington State Senator Patty Murray asks nominee to be US Surgeon General Casey Means at her confirmation hearing if she believes Emory University epidemiologist Carol Hogue is wrong to question the safety of RSV vaccines, with Means responding she has not read that article or seen that quote and would need to know what Hogue said before commenting on that, with Murray noting RSV is the leading cause of hospitalization for infants and asking if Means would contradict Hogue's statement as Surgeon General, with Means responding she certainly has absolutely no issue having very frank conversations with anyone in the administration if she believes their statements are misguided in some way or not fully informed though that is not a conversation she would have publicly first as she would have a private and direct conversation with anyone in the administration if she felt patients were at risk.
