President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., recently expressed his support for Trump's selection for Food and Drug Administration commissioner, Marty Makary, in a social media post over the weekend. Kennedy conveyed his enthusiasm to collaborate with Makary, a surgeon and researcher at Johns Hopkins University, who was appointed to the FDA position by Trump on Friday night.
In his post, Kennedy congratulated Makary on his nomination and highlighted his eagerness to work together to uphold the FDA's longstanding commitment to gold-standard, evidence-based science, eliminate corporate influence, and prioritize the nation's health and well-being.
