Dr. Jack Kruse, a brain surgeon and health advocate, has raised concerns about Calley and Casey Means’ growing influence and potential roles in a future Trump administration. The siblings, recently featured on Tucker Carlson and The Joe Rogan Experience, have been vocal about the dangers of processed foods and synthetic additives.
Kruse, however, argues that this focus is a calculated distraction from what he considers the primary issue: vaccine mandates and particularly mRNA COVID-19 shots introduced under Trump’s Operation Warp Speed initiative.
“They’re using the Hegelian dialect where they’re trying to move the needle off the real big issues today,” Kruse stated in a recent interview with Mike Adams on Health Ranger Report. According to Kruse, “The real big issue is… Susie Wiles, who’s Trump’s new Chief of Staff, basically hired both of these two… to keep the message… off of Operation Warp Speed because they knew that this was going to harpoon Trump in a big way.”
He argued that the Means siblings’ attention to diet and food additives detracts from the focus on vaccines, especially mRNA vaccines, which Kruse believes should be at the center of the health debate.
The Means siblings’ prominence in health discussions comes at a time when chronic disease rates are rising, and Kruse claims their narrative diverts from the core problem. “Young people are not dying from Fruit Loops,” Kruse said, adding, “They’re dying from COVID jabs and you two clowns get a spot on Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson.”
He suggested that Susie Wiles, with help from Mercury, a public relations firm linked to the pharmaceutical industry, has directed the Means siblings to keep public attention on food issues instead of vaccines.
Kruse also contested the idea that processed foods are the main factor driving chronic disease. “The chronic disease epidemics that Bobby [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.] talks about… didn’t start when Fruit Loops showed up,” he said, pointing to historical data on diseases like autism and Alzheimer’s that predate the rise of processed foods in the U.S. Kruse explained, “Most people in the United States don’t even know that supermarkets showed up in the United States in 1947… The first case of autism showed up seven years before that… The first case of Alzheimer’s disease in the literature is 1911.” He suggested that causes beyond diet are likely at play in chronic disease trends.
Calley Means, who served as an intern in the George W. Bush administration and at the Heritage Foundation, says his experience in consulting on behalf of the food and pharmaceutical industry motivated his campaign against conflicts of interest in health policy.
Casey Means, who left her medical residency to co-found the digital health company Levels Health, practices functional medicine and has been shortlisted by the Trump campaign for a role in the Food and Drug Administration.
Together, the siblings have also been associated with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again platform, which emphasizes health policy reform.
Kruse questioned their ties to high-profile organizations, alleging that their focus on food issues serves corporate and political interests. “Casey is very conflicted because of her ties to 23andMe founder Anne Wojicki and data harvesting,” Kruse remarked.
He expressed doubts over the role of technology in health data, saying, “Both of them own companies tied to this electromagnetic story… and they want to focus on the food stuff, but… the goal… is to get tech inside of you,” suggesting a link between public health advocacy and the promotion transhumanism.
“These two don’t really spend too much time talking about COVID because remember both of them are Stanford Research Institute people,” Kruse continued. “Casey has already admitted she worked for 23andMe before she went to medical school. Calley is even worse because his relations he’s a card-carrying member of the Council of Foreign Relations, which then you got to start talking about Kissinger, you got to start talking about Rockefeller. Then we’ve got the issues there that go back to globalism and socialism.”
The neurosurgeon’s criticism reflects a broader concern over political influence in public health narratives, particularly regarding vaccine safety. “We can avoid those things through our choices in the grocery store. What we can’t do is avoid the shots from mandates, especially if you’re a three-day infant and you’re under the care of a hospital based centralized pediatrician, who’s going to hit you with vitamin K, hepatitis B, and then you got to get your COVID shots really quick because they’re mandated here still in the United States,” Kruse stated.
He added, “We have very good aftermarket data that this is why people are dying, and it goes against the narrative that many people currently believe.” Kruse suggested that vaccine are causing significant damage to public health, a perspective he feels is overshadowed by the Means siblings’ food-focused messaging.
