5月16日(路透社)——美国食品药品监督管理局药品中心代理负责人特蕾西·贝丝·赫格(Tracey Beth ​Hoeg)表示,她已被该机构解雇。

路透社此前率先报道称,赫格预计将于周五离职,而就在几天前,该局局长马蒂·马卡里(Marty ​Makary)已辞职。

赫格通过X平台的帖子宣布了自己的离职,她是一名流行病学家兼运动医学医生,在新冠疫情期间曾对新冠疫苗表示过质疑。

今年1月,她还牵头参与了美国儿童疫苗接种计划的改革工作,将推荐接种的疫苗剂次从17剂缩减至11剂。

赫格的离职正值卫生部门全面改组之际。近几个月来,白宫加强了对该部门的管控。

白宫已任命克里斯·克伦普(Chris Klomp)担任肯尼迪的副手,此后克伦普协助任命了一批更为传统的高级卫生职位候选人,例如美国疾病控制与预防中心主任和卫生局局长。

据两位消息人士透露,自马卡里周二辞职以来,克伦普一直在推动清除FDA内有争议的任命人员,并用更为传统的人选取而代之。

May 16 (Reuters) – The acting head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s drug center, Tracey Beth ​Hoeg, said she had been fired from ‌the agency.

Reuters first reported Hoeg was expected to leave the FDA on Friday, just days after Commissioner Marty ​Makary resigned.

Hoeg, who announced her departure ​via an X post, is an epidemiologist ⁠and sports physician who cast doubt on COVID ​vaccines during the pandemic.

She also helped lead the ​effort to overhaul the U.S. childhood vaccination schedule by reducing the number of recommended shots from 17 to ​11 in January.

Hoeg’s departure comes amid a ​wider shake-up of the health department. The White House ‌has ⁠exerted more control over the department in recent months.

The White House installed Chris Klomp as Kennedy’s No. 2, and Klomp has since helped ​bring in ​a slate ⁠of more conventional nominees for top health positions, such as director of ​the Centers for Disease Control and ​Prevention ⁠and Surgeon General.

Since Makary’s resignation on Tuesday, Klomp has been pushing to rid the FDA of ⁠controversial ​appointees and replace them with ​more traditional picks, according to two of the sources.
