Trump Nominates COVID Critic Marty Makary for FDA Chief

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Marty Makary, a Johns Hopkins surgeon and critic of the Biden administration's Covid response, to lead the FDA. Makary, known for his skepticism of the FDA's handling of Covid vaccines, is expected to restore trust in the agency and address issues like harmful chemicals in food and drugs. His nomination may alleviate concerns about anti-vaccine sentiments within the FDA, despite his controversial views on vaccine recommendations. Makary's selection has been praised by some Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul.
