Trump Announces Departure of FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. Donald Trump says FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is leaving his role after just over a year in office. Trump described Makary as “a great doctor” and confirmed that a deputy commissioner will temporarily lead the agency while a permanent replacement is chosen. Makary reportedly faced growing criticism inside and outside the administration over several controversial decisions, including resistance to approving more flavoured vape products and the FDA’s approval of a cheaper generic abortion pill. During his time leading the FDA, Makary also clashed with pharmaceutical companies after multiple drug rejections involving cancer and rare disease treatments. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised Makary for challenging the status quo and advancing the administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda. Makary became nationally known during the Covid-19 pandemic for criticizing several federal health policies and vaccine strategies.
