President Donald Trump plans to fire Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary. The move follows months of chaos at the agency and stems from the president's frustration with the organization.
Dr. Makary, a supporter of the Make America Healthy Again movement, has had a tumultuous tenure. He has faced criticism over his leadership of the agency that oversees drug and vaccine approvals and has clashed with other administration officials.
These conflicts have centered on vaccine policy, vaping, and the rejection of new drugs. Makary also faced opposition from anti-abortion groups who wanted him to effectively ban abortion medication.
While the plan to remove the commissioner is not yet final and could change, his ouster would be no surprise.
