Whistleblower Calley Means, a former lobbyist, shared with Tucker Carlson in an interview released Friday that doctors “feel trapped” by Big Pharma.
When Carlson asked Means how he would leverage political power to reform the medical industry, Means suggested using “executive orders” and targeting “incentives,” providing specific examples. Carlson then followed up by asking why more people don’t “opt out” of the system.
“They actually had a New York Times article recently that identified what doctors are feeling, towards soldiers. It’s the same psychological dynamic that soldiers who get in the fight for the right reasons, but then are forced by their superiors to commit war crimes,” Means told Carlson.
Means suggested that medical professionals are “good people” who often become compromised when they discover “much easier ways to make money.”
“They actually, the New York Times, compared doctors to, like [Abu Ghraib], like soldiers who are forced to do horrible things or felt like they were forced,” Means claimed. “That’s, I think, what’s happening to the medical profession. These are all good people. There’s much easier ways to make money. They — we actually are this magnet that attracts the best and the brightest from all over the world. We saddled them with debt. They have no other skills, and then they have societal expectations and their parents and all these credentials. But they do feel trapped.”
Means urged healthcare professionals to adopt an “I don’t give a f**k” mindset to drive positive change in the industry. He drew a parallel to billionaire Elon Musk’s response to advertisers, telling them “Go f**k yourself!” after they threatened to boycott X (formerly Twitter) following his acquisition of the platform.
Casey Means was a Stanford-educated surgeon. Her brother Calley was a lobbyist for pharma and the food industry. Both quit their jobs in horror when they realized how many people were being killed by the systems they participated in. This is an amazing story.

“Everyone knows what’s going on. It’s like, ‘oh, it’s hard, you know? We don’t know what to do.’ We need some leadership. We need some leadership. But again, with simple executive orders, you can start changing these incentives. You can, you can start changing them,” Means said.
