Earlier today, we brought you the surprise announcement that FDA Commissioner Marty Makary was out.
That report is here if you missed it:
BREAKING: FDA Commissioner Marty Makary Is OUT, President Trump Responds
Some claimed he was fired...
But President Trump said he resigned.
Now we just got the full resignation letter, posted by President Trump himself to his TruthSocial.
See it here:
And if that's a little hard to read, here's the full text:
Dr. President Trump, Please accept my resig-nation, effective today.
During my tenure, I announced 50 major FDA reforms. Joe Biden's FDA had none. I'm extremely proud that we reduced drug review times from a year to 1-2 months, wrote new guidance to advance psychedelics, introduced a new "plausible mechanism" pathway for rare disease drugs, and changed estrogen labels to tell women the truth about menopausal hormone replacement.
It's been the honor of a lifetime to serve as your
FDA Commissioner. I am forever grateful.
Respectfully,
ADVERTISEMENTMarty Makary M.D., M.P.H.
