“By reducing the chance that the #varicella-zoster virus - which causes chickenpox - can reactivate into shingles, the vaccine may combat virus-generated inflammation and sticky protein formation that's implicated in Alzheimer's disease”

"The firing or resignation of Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary is more intra- #MAHA chaos at a beleaguered and battered Department of Health and Human Services.

"When you don’t have a #CDC Director, an #FDA Commissioner, or a Surgeon General, the obvious question is: Why do you have this #HHS Secretary? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is the cause of much of the chaos that has resulted in these job vacancies. HHS is rotting from the head."

Marty Makary is out as Trump's Food and Drug Administration head

Marty Makary is resigning as President Donald Trump's Food and Drug Administration head. The surgeon and health researcher's tenure had drawn complaints from health industry executives, anti-abortion activists and other Trump allies. Trump said Tuesday that Makary “was having some difficulty” but ”he’s going to go on and he’s going to do well.” Makary came to the attention of Republican operatives as an outspoken critic of COVID-19 health measures during the pandemic when he appeared frequently on Fox News Channel. But at the FDA, Makary failed to win the staff's confidence after mass layoffs, leadership changes and a series of controversies in which the agency’s scientific principles appeared to be overridden by political interests.
