Dr. Marty Makary\u2019s resignation comes after he drew backlash from health industry executives, anti-abortion activists and other allies of the president, although the official reason for his departure is not known.\u00a0<\/p>

One White House official told FOX News that Makary\u2019s resignation has to do with “process at the FDA” and that there was “no bad blood” between Makary and President Donald Trump.\u00a0<\/p>

What’s next:<\/p>

Kyle Diamantis, FDA deputy commissioner for Food, will serve as acting commissioner, according to FOX.<\/p>

A permanent replacement for FDA commissioner will need to be nominated by Trump and confirmed by a majority vote in the Senate.<\/p>

Makary, a former Johns Hopkins physician and researcher, faced backlash over his stance on abortion pills, vapes, vaccines and rare disease drugs.<\/p>

More than a half-dozen initiatives from Makary aimed to speed up or streamline FDA drug reviews, including dropping certain study requirements, incorporating artificial intelligence into drug evaluations and offering expedited reviews to medicines that support “national interests.”<\/p>

But pharmaceutical executives rely on the predictability and consistency of FDA decisions, even more than speedy reviews. Makary\u2019s efforts on drug reviews were overshadowed by internal conflicts and upheavals that created headaches for drugmakers, investors and patients.<\/p>

Anti-abortion groups have criticized Makary for allegedly slow-walking an internal review of the abortion pill mifepristone, which has been on the market for 25 years but remains a target for conservative activists.<\/p>

Vaping executives told Trump that Makary was blocking approval of their products, including new flavored e-cigarettes seen as crucial to the industry’s survival.<\/p>

Most of the programs Makary introduced have not gone through federal rulemaking required to enshrine them in U.S. regulations and could easily be overturned by his successors.<\/p>
