I can't resist adding that, if there are rumors or proposals that Greger be Surgeon General, they need to be sourced, but also, that the suggested text just does not have the neutral tone necessary for an encyclopedia article. Hypothetically, if it could be sourced, I would say something more like, "After the 2020 election, Greger's name was mentioned as a candidate for Surgeon General in the Biden administration. Proponents hoped that a Greger nomination would advance the cause of veganism and plant-based health." Brianyoumans (talk) 16:45, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
I think we need to protect this talk page temporarily. The IP is on multiple IPs spreading misinformation. The rumor is not true. I have had people contact Greger, he knows nothing about this. The IP is deliberately using Misplaced Pages to spread false information. His IP/S should be blocked. Psychologist Guy (talk) 20:02, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
I’d be supportive of Greger becoming Surgeon General, but my understanding is that it is a post often associated with the military. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.184.205.28 (talk) 04:43, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Charity Work - should make this a major topic in his bio
Would be good to see some reference in the article to his Charity Work. Greger has become recognised for charity work and is a member of "Giving What We Can", a community of people who have pledged to give at least 10% of their income to charitable causes. We should include this, so as to show what type of man he is. Gives a good picture into his personality and dedication to people and just causes. https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/about-us/members/gregermichael — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:D19A:D900:5C6D:B866:DA67:AA00 (talk) 12:33, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
There is a person named Michael Greger on their membership list. The link above doesn't work, at least for me. So, I'm not sure this is the same Michael Greger. I don't see anything else online connecting him to the organization. Brianyoumans (talk) 14:01, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
