The Surgeon General doesn't have jurisdiction to declare a public health crisis? Seems like exactly their jurisdiction. It's not like they're trying to pass or enforce any laws. Plus those other agencies are clearly derelict of duty, so I'm all for the any functional agencies doing whatever they can to force positive change on this troglodytic tire fire of a nation.
Not on crimes, no.
They didn't say there's a public health crisis "on crimes," they said there's a public health crisis of gun violence, which is obviously very accurate. I'm not sure if you're aware, but when it comes to public health, guns can actually only have a negative impact. That's how they're designed.
So is inflation an epidemic too? How about climate change? It all affects health! We should let the SG pass any law he wants!
Again, they didn't pass a law, they're not a legislative body.
But you bring up a good point, climate change is a public health crisis. I'd actually be worried if the Surgeon General wasn't worried about it. Inflation's just a symptom of capitalism though, you gotta get to the root of the problem if you want real change.
Who said the SG was passing laws.
So is inflation an epidemic too?
Yes.... Not the point you're trying to make I guess.

SG isn't passing any laws. They are making a statement.
