""Putting Tracy Beth in charge is like dropping an atom bomb," one agency source told CBS News in December. Høeg has acknowledged the effectiveness of some vaccines, including the vaccine."
Dr. Tracy Beth Høeg is leaving her acting position as director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, which reviews applications for new prescription and over-the-counter drugs. She had served in the role since December and previously advised former FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary. Her departure follows Makary’s exit as commissioner after reports of internal tensions, including disagreements over approving flavored e-cigarettes. A source said Makary did not want to approve flavored products but was pressured by other administration members. The change comes after Dr. Vinay Prasad, formerly responsible for vaccine approvals, also left last month. Høeg’s appointment drew controversy due to vaccine skepticism, including involvement in a memo linking children’s deaths to the COVID-19 vaccine without supporting data.
