In a new interview, the FDA commissioner had few answers on how Americans should think about Covid vaccines. Instead, he urged them to consult with their doctors.
In an interview meant to clarify the federal government’s position on Covid-19 vaccines, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary had few answers. Instead, he urged Americans to consult with their doctors.
In a Sunday appearance on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Makary said the data on Covid shots in healthy children and pregnant people are mixed, and said the decision on whether to get vaccinated should be between patients and their doctors. He also called the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s independent vaccine advisory panel a “kangaroo court” that “rubber-stamps” every vaccine.
