Can Trump ever be wrong? His pick to lead FDA refused to say.
摘要
特朗普提名的FDA局长人选海蒂·奥弗顿在参议院听证会上近两小时回避质询，甚至对简单问题也不作正面回应。她曾任保守派智库，明确反对堕胎，而FDA正审查堕胎药米非司酮的安全性。她还在特朗普错误称MMR疫苗“相当致命”、婴儿疫苗剂量“像汽水瓶”的记者会上站在其身后。
Heidi Overton, President Trump's nominee to lead the Food and Drug Administration, went before the Senate health committee Thursday, facing questions about her stances on vaccines, flavored vapes, birth control, and abortion, among other issues. She spent nearly two hours stonewalling senators, even on softball questions.
Overton, a physician with a doctoral degree in clinical investigation, is currently the deputy assistant to the president for domestic policy. She previously worked at a conservative think tank and has taken a clear stance opposing abortion, raising obvious questions about her objectivity. The FDA is currently reviewing the safety of the abortion pill, mifepristone, despite extensive data showing it is extremely safe.
Overton also notably stood behind President Trump at a press conference in August during which Trump falsely called the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine "quite lethal." He further claimed that vaccine doses for infants are "like the size of a soda bottle," and called for the MMR vaccine to be split into three separate immunizations, despite no evidence of benefit from such a split and no such individual immunizations being available in the US.
