The US Senate has confirmed President Donald Trump’s picks for leading two key health agencies. Dr. Makary and Dr. Bhattacharya, both vocal critics of the country’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, have been confirmed to lead the FDA and NIH. Their appointments are expected to shape the implementation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s agenda to address chronic disease, a plan that will significantly impact Americans’ health decisions.
