WASHINGTON – According to a Monday report from the Washington Post, the Trump administration is weighing the appointment of Dr. Houman Hemmati to oversee a key FDA division responsible for vaccine oversight.
Three sources with knowledge of the discussions told the newspaper that Hemmati, who works as an eye doctor and makes regular television appearances on Fox News, is being evaluated to head the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
The center plays a critical role in evaluating vaccines and other biological products before they reach the public.
