I'm "Shocked -- Shocked, I Tell You"... That An Anti-Masker / Anti-Vaxer Is Now The FIFTH Head (In Just 2025) Of FDA's CDER. Chaos Is The Whole Brand.

The sooner 2026 mid-terms arrive, in earnest -- the better. The utter lack of rigor in all these people, save Padzur. . . is maddening.

I am not surprised that Padzur, a great guy -- has decided he cannot continue in the likely-to-be-lethal farce under Prasad and Kennedy. He's retired, after 25 years in, at the agency (and less than a month as head of CDER), being essentially strong-armed into the job, after Tidmarsh resigned in disgrace.

Here's the latest on the revolving door at FDA's CDER, from Clinical Trials Arena:

. . .Høeg’s appointment to director of CDER follows a turbulent period for the department, which recently saw the retirement of former head, Richard Padzur. . . .

Høeg’s appointment closely follows the sudden retirement of longtime FDA employee and previous Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) director, Richard Padzur, who only took the helm at the division less than a month ago.

Padzur was originally encouraged to take charge of CDER by FDA Commissioner Marty Makary after previous leader, George Tidmarsh, resigned following an investigation into his personal conduct revealing “serious concerns”. . . .

During her short time at the agency, Høeg has voiced her scepticism towards the safety and value of Covid vaccines -- specifically focusing on mask mandates, as well as the approval of booster jabs for use in children.

Before her CDER appointment, Høeg was in the headlines for exactly this reason, as the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) leader, Vinay Prasad, claimed that research she headed had uncovered 10 children’s deaths [Ed. Note: falsely, it turns out] linked to Covid vaccines. . . .

This is complete. . . madness -- and (confidential note to MAGA!) even US-born children will die, in excess numbers, because of it. Mark my words.
