read at STAT ↗RegulatoryNegative
FDA withdrew the nomination of Casey Means for surgeon general and appointed Nicole Saphier, a radiologist and Fox News commentator.
The switch underscores the administration’s limited sway in the Senate and marks a setback for the Make America Healthy Again group’s push to confirm Means.
Saphier’s focus on personal wellness and her skepticism of vaccine mandates may help her connect with both MAHA supporters and broader Republican audiences.
The piece also mentions that PFAS chemicals are still found in some infant formulas, highlighting ongoing health concerns.
