Earlier this year, Makary appeared alongside Kennedy in a Congressional roundtable... he criticized federal health agencies for not prioritizing chronic diseases and said "the greatest perpetrator of misinformation has been the United States government with the food pyramid." "We have the most overmedicated, sickest population in the world and no one is talking about root causes," he said. "We have poisoned our food supply."
Trump pledged that Makary would work with Kennedy to "properly evaluate harmful chemicals poisoning our Nation's food supply and drugs and biologics being given to our Nation's youth, so that we can finally address the Childhood Chronic Disease Epidemic."
Together the picks would help the incoming president shift the priorities of agencies that are linchpins in public health. But the choices also come with controversy.
