Trump signs off on plan to fire FDA Commissioner Marty Makary
President Trump signed off on a plan to remove FDA Commissioner Marty Makary after clashes over vaping, abortion and vaccine policy, the Wall Street Journal reports. Trump pressed Makary to rush approval of flavored vapes and pushed him to authorize blueberry and mango products from Los Angeles manufacturer Glas after Makary initially resisted. Firing Makary would install new leadership at the FDA during active decisions on nicotine product authorizations, abortion-related drug access and vaccine guidance, reshaping federal public health oversight.
"Trump became frustrated with Makary for not moving fast enough to approve flavored vapes. Makary refused to authorize blueberry and mango vape flavors from LA manufacturer Glas, worried they would encourage youth vaping. After the pressure from Trump, he reversed course and authorized the flavors."
Fu_Trump_ck64Somehow, Trump is getting paid by the vape industry.
Sam40There isn't one ethical bone between all of them in this entire administration.
Middlerage25How much did Trump get paid to make that happen? 🙄
rogeralien.bsky.social13The-most corrupt administration in American history
LazyWriter12The irony of the flavor being mango 😂
saganleft2soon.bsky.social8mmm.... keeping my job vs. ensuring the vape industry will not recruit a new army of kids who will be sicker and die earlier.
justicetoall.bsky.social ⚖️️😻💙8Hmm..What did Trump get out of this..Or his family/sycophant contributors???? 🤔 shorturl.at/cd9k8
Chris Fredda 🩷💜💙6Even when you give into Trump, you’re punished for not doing it fast enough or thanking him for it.
😳4Hmmmm wonder why Trump was so set on approving flavored vapes
T-Fish🇨🇦🍁4As usual, follow the money
BBQ Rich3Weren’t flavored vapes banned under Trump 1? Definitely another grift going on.
TheSnarkTank3I did my general surgery residency with Marty. I love this for him.
Aaron Hart3Trumps ok with killing people
Rich3Cowards - all of them
myurbanlife.bsky.social3This people just don’t stand for anything.
Black cat army2Now we know what flavor Baron likes.

Gollypop2Trump was the one who banned flavored vapes
🎶RBV🎶2Who owns the company? And how much did they pay Trump?
Jon Pelican2If it will kill people, psychopath Trump has time for it and is all in for it.
Rudy 🇨🇦2"The doctor, a MAHA advocate, has had a tumultuous tenure" = did not kiss ass and the ring. WSJ is a piece of shit.
NEW - Trump has signed off on a plan to fire his FDA Commissioner, Dr. Marty Makary. www.wsj.com/health/healt...
Jonathan Howard19"Makary rose in conservative circles as a measured critic of pandemic-era health efforts and the failings of the traditional medical establishment." The truth is he spread rank disinformation and botched *basic* facts all the time. A small sample is below.
Jack Scrambo3There’s pretty much no point in celebrating when one of these ghouls gets shitcanned. Trump almost always fires these people for not being ghoulish enough.
niemandbesonders.bsky.social3I am not the person quoted...but I probably would have said just that if I had been asked for a quote.
