Nation’s cancer chief appointed acting FDA commissioner

Norman “Ned”Sharpless, director of the National Cancer Institute, is named acting FDA commissioner.

Azar announced Sharpless’s appointment at a hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s health subcommittee. “We are going to be carrying forward Dr. Gottlieb’s vision,” he said. “His agenda is my agenda. My agenda is his agenda.” Sharpless was director of the University of North Carolina’s Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center before getting the top job at NCI, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. He would be the second cancer institute director to switch to the FDA; the first was Andrew von Eschenbach, who moved to the agency in 2005. Sharpless also founded two biotech companies.

That sounds oddly reasonable. Is he a KKK wizard or something equally sinister too?

I hope he approves of CBD in food and beverages
