The Rot at the FDA: A Pattern of Partisanship and Questionable Science The latest shake up at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a stark reminder that politics has invaded one of our most critical regulatory agencies.
Dr. Tracy Beth Hoeg, an ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, was "fired" from her role leading the agency's drug program.
Hoeg's departure comes on the heels of months long controversy surrounding the agency. Critics accuse officials of being swayed by partisan interests rather than scientific evidence.
