Altogether those products represent an estimated 20% of U.S. consumer spending annually, or $2.6 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Makary gained prominence on Fox News and other conservative outlets for his contrarian views during the COVID-19 pandemic. He questioned the need for masking and, though not opposed to the COVID-19 vaccine, had concerns about booster vaccinations in young children.

While children faced much lower rates of hospitalization and death from the virus, medical societies including the American Academy of Pediatrics concluded that vaccinations significantly reduced severe disease in the age group.<\/p>\n<p>Makary has lamented how <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/purdue-pharma-opioid-crisis-guilty-plea-5704ad896e964222a011f053949e0cc0\">drugmakers used misleading data<\/a><\/span> to urge doctors to prescribe OxyContin and other opioids as low-risk, non-addictive pain relievers.

That trend has been fueled by industry lobbying and fees paid by drugmakers to help the FDA hire additional reviewers.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy has proposed ending those payments, which would require billions in new funding from the federal budget.<\/p>\n<p>Other administration priorities would likely run into similar roadblocks. For instance, Kennedy wants to bar drugmakers from <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/drug-ads-fda-risks-side-effects-influencers-80bbe076f4ed743ebde3923dd28be004\">advertising on TV<\/a><\/span>, a multibillion-dollar market that supports many TV and cable networks. The Supreme Court and other conservative judges would likely overturn such a ban on First Amendment grounds that protect commercial speech, experts note.<\/p>\n<p>Less is known about Trump\u2019s pick for the Atlanta-based CDC, which develops vaccines and monitors for infectious disease outbreaks. <\/p>\n<p>Weldon is a staunch, self-described \u201cpro-life\u201d Republican. Legislation he introduced more than 20 years ago outlawed human cloning. He also brokered a deal with lawmakers to bar patents on human organisms, including genetically engineered embryos. Weldon also advocated against the removal of the feeding tube for Terri Schiavo, a Florida woman whose family battle over her vegetative state turned into a national debate. <\/p>\n<p>Weldon\u2019s nomination is likely to placate some anti-abortion advocates, who have been concerned about Trump\u2019s nomination of Kennedy, a longtime Democrat and proponent of abortion rights, as the nation\u2019s top health official. <\/p>\n<p>Weldon retired from his congressional seat in 2008, after 14 years in public office. Earlier this year, he lost in a GOP primary for a seat in the Florida Legislature. <\/p>\n<p>If he\u2019s confirmed, he\u2019ll be in charge of more than 13,000 employees and nearly 13,000 other contract workers.<\/p>\n<p>Nesheiwat, meanwhile, will oversee 6,000 U.S. Public Health Service Corps members if the Republican-controlled Senate approves her nomination as the surgeon general. She is a medical director for an urgent care company in New York. She appears regularly on Fox News and has expressed frequent support for Trump, sharing photos of them together on her social media pages. <\/p>\n<p>Surgeons general also have the power to issue advisories, warning of public health threats in the U.S. Those advisories can influence how the government, public and medical community respond to health crises in the country. <\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute\u2019s Science and Educational Media Group.
