Chaos reigns at HHS as FDA gets an acting commissioner

The firing or resignation of Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary is more intra-MAHA chaos at a beleaguered and battered Department of Health and Human Services.

When you don't have a CDC Director, an FDA Commissioner, or a Surgeon General, the obvious question is: Why do you have this HHS Secretary? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is the cause of much of the chaos that has resulted in these job vacancies. HHS is rotting from the head.

Kyle Diamantas now has a nearly impossible charge - leading, as a non-scientist, a science-based agency under an unqualified Secretary who puts his own medical and nutritional pet peeves over evidence-based public health.

The American people deserve full-time, Senate-confirmed, qualified officials to lead the agencies charged with protecting our health, not the conveyor belt of chaos Kennedy has put in motion.
