Senate Hearing: Dr.Marty Makary's Nomination for FDA Leadership Examined.

Dr. Marty Makary, chosen by President Trump to lead the FDA, spoke to senators about his plans. He promised to follow the science but didn't say what he would do about specific issues.

One big issue is the abortion pill, which some people want to restrict. Makary said he would look at the data and talk to scientists before making a decision.

Some senators were worried that Makary might make decisions based on politics, not science. They wanted him to promise to keep the abortion pill available.

The FDA has had some problems recently, like firing and then re-hiring staff. Makary said he wasn't involved in those decisions but would look into them.

Makary also talked about vaccines and said he supports the Health Secretary's plan to review their safety. He is expected to be confirmed as FDA leader soon.
