New FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary accused the NIH of funding the lab that created the virus causing COVID-19, which killed over 20 million globally. He criticized NIH’s past focus on “descriptive studies” and pledged to refocus on root causes and cures for major diseases. Despite budget cuts, Makary assured the FDA remains strong with no layoffs of scientific staff, emphasizing teamwork and breaking down internal silos.
