Megyn is joined by FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary for his first interview in his new position to discuss what he has learned since entering the role 17 days ago, whether there are people in the building who are open to MAHA, what is currently working properly at the agency and what is not, the issues with the VAERS system, recent critiques from Peter Marks who left the FDA, the need to ask questions in science and not jump to conclusions, his new policy limiting who can serve as members on FDA advisory committees, his efforts to counter the perception that the FDA has been captured by Big Pharma and other industries, how he learned first-hand about “the swamp,” the apolitical work he and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are doing, his efforts to get certain drugs approved faster and to limit animal testing, the truth about DOGE cuts and how no scientists or reviewers were impacted, his relationship with RFKJ, his effort to redo the food pyramid, the efforts by Kennedy to figure out the cause of autism, the need to look at environmental and dietary exposures that could alter the microbiome, and more.
