"Feud in the Make America Healthy Again Movement: Government Employee Clashes with Supplement Company CEO"
[!CDATA[The Make America Healthy Again movement is embroiled in a public feud as Calley Means, a government employee for Health and Human Services, clashed with a supplement company CEO over leaked false information. The movement, led by vaccine-skeptic Robert F Kennedy Jr, has gained influence during President Trump's tenure. Means accused The Wellness Company of spreading lies about his company, Truemed, to MAGA supporter Laura Loomer, leading to a heated phone call where threats were exchanged. The Wellness Company, known for its vaccine-critical stance, filed an ethics complaint against Means for alleged misuse of his government position for personal gain. The dispute escalated as Loomer made tax fraud allegations against Means and his sister, Casey Means, who was appointed as Trump's surgeon general. Means accused The Wellness Company's founder of leaking the false information to Loomer, which was denied by the company. Loomer, a right-wing conspiracy theorist, teased a damaging story about Means, prompting a response from Means denying the allegations and asserting his right to defend against false claims. Legal action was threatened, and a cease and desist letter was sent to The Wellness Company's CEO and founder. The Health and Human Services spokesperson declined to confirm any specific investigations related to the feud, citing the need to protect the integrity of the process. The Office of Civil Rights will review the complaints and determine the legal authority to investigate further. The ongoing conflict within the Make America Healthy Again movement underscores the tensions and power struggles within the health and wellness advocacy space.]]
