Trump’s FDA pick is Marty Makary, surgeon and MAHA ally of RFK Jr.

President-elect Trump has tapped Johns Hopkins surgeon Martin “Marty” Makary, who has made a name for himself by challenging status quo ideas in the medical establishment, to serve as the next commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.

Trump announced the pick on Truth Social, where he said Makary would guide the agency to address “harmful” chemicals and pharmaceuticals to combat childhood chronic illnesses.

Makary will “restore FDA to the Gold Standard of Scientific Research, and cut the bureaucratic red tape at the Agency to make sure Americans get the Medical Cures and Treatments they deserve,” Trump said in a statement.
