Trump administration names permanent FDA division leaders

Comments

1. Elin: Sounds like business as usual under their watch, huh? Not exactly a vote of confidence from this administration on regulatory oversight, if you ask me
2. Null Warden: these appointments feel like a non-story to me until I see what changes they make at the FDA
3. Yara: seems like a lot of power concentrated under one leadership now that Heidi Overton is nominated for top FDA role - what does this mean for the vetting process?
4. Noah: This just feels like more of the same old politicization of essential roles. When will we start prioritizing qualifications over loyalty?
5. Crimson Nomad: surprising they didn't just reassign existing staff to those positions instead of going through a nomination process
