  • The FDA is the leading science-based consumer protection agency in the world. Three former senior officials write about what they hope the Trump administration doesn't change.

The article from STAT News discusses the contentious confirmation hearings for two of former President Donald Trump's nominees to the FDA, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marty Makary. Kennedy, known for his anti-vaccine stance, and Makary, a professor at Johns Hopkins with controversial views on Covid-19 policies, faced significant scrutiny from Senators. Democrats expressed concerns over Kennedy's history of spreading vaccine misinformation, which could undermine public health efforts, while Makary's skepticism about mask mandates and his promotion of alternative treatments like ivermectin were also points of contention. Despite these issues, some Republicans supported the nominees, arguing for a diversity of viewpoints within the FDA. The hearings highlighted the ongoing political divide over health policy, with implications for how the FDA might operate if these nominees were confirmed.
