Heidi Overton faced intense questioning on Thursday during her hearing as President Donald Trump’s choice to lead the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The session focused on two major issues: vaccines and a well-known abortion pill.
Overton addressed concerns about the safety of the combined measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. She stated clearly that the MMR vaccine is “not lethal” and affirmed its status as “safe and effective.” Her comments were aimed at alleviating public fears surrounding the vaccine.
The hearing highlighted the contentious topics under the FDA’s purview, with Overton’s statements providing insight into her approach to these critical issues.
