Today’s offering is about Dr. Martin Makary, MD, MPH, the current Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.) Dr. Makary serves under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. There is some “interesting information”, along with multiple screenshots, in today’s post. All information is searchable on the internet. Yours Truly will highlight opinions of her own in Italics.

The official FDA biography of Dr. Martin Makary, MD, MPH, is here: https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/fda-organization/martin-makary. Yours Truly cannot find a biographical entry on Dr. Makary that states when he was born. What is known is that Dr. Makary was born in Liverpool, England, and came with his birth family to the United States when he was a child. What is known is that Dr. Makary graduated with a B.S. degree from Bucknell University (likely about 1994), and graduated with his MD degree from the medical school of Thomas Jefferson University in 1998. This would, likely, place his year of birth in about 1970. Dr. Makary held a position at The Johns Hopkins University Hospital System as a Surgical Oncologist. He has also served as a professor in the Business School of The Johns Hopkins University. He also served as a consultant for the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2009 in that organization’s “Patient Safety Initiative”, in which Dr Makary assisted in creating the “Surgery Checklist” for surgeons (https://iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/10665/44185/9789241598552_eng.pdf, page 121.) Dr. Makary was confirmed as the current Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in March 2025.

It is also known that Dr. Makary has apparently refused to take COVID-19 “vaccines” himself. Please see the screenshot, below, from this article: https://www.arabnews.com/node/2580559/amp. “Trumps names two Arab Americans for his Cabinet”, 25 November 2024:

Which, if the above is true, begs the question: If Dr. Makary did not take COVID-19 “vaccines” himself, why is he “recommending” these injectables for anyone else — for example, for people now deemed “at risk of severe complications from COVID-19 infection”, which includes pregnant women and women who have just given birth?

Now, on to recent developments in the FDA under Dr. Makary: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/fda-opens-drug-fast-track-with-approvals, “FDA Opens Drug Fast Track With Approvals in as Little as 30 Days – Safety Oversight Under Fire, 26 July 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

Below is a screenshot from the FDA’ announcement of the new CNPV scheme as it relates to the drug industry (Big Pharma). The FDA press release is found here: https://www.fda.gov/industry/commissioners-priority-voucher-cnpv-pilot-program, 22 July 2025:

There are sections of the FDA website (URL above) regarding “Background and Program Priorities”, “Eligibility Criteria” for drug companies, “Solicitation of Statements of Interest”, and “Submission and Selection” for the program, underneath the FDA announcement.

This FDA announcement comes on the heels of another “opinion piece” by Dr. Martin Makary and Dr. Vinay Prasad, “Priorities for a New FDA”, published on JAMA Network on 10 June 2025. Their article is found here: http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2835314. Please see the screenshots from this “opinion piece”, below:

On 30 July 2025, Dr. Makary went on CNBC for an interview, in which he stated that the FDA “could hit a record number of approvals this year.” Please see: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/07/30/fda-commissioner-dr-marty-makary-the-agency-could-hit-a-record-number-of-approvals-this-year.html. This begs the question: is this FDA “record number of approvals this year” somehow tied into the new CNPV scheme?

While, at the same time, Dr. Makary is”making no plans” to remove mifepristone, the “abortion pill”. from the market. Please see: https://www.semafor.com/article/04/24/2025/fdas-marty-makary-no-plans-to-pull-abortion-pill-mifepristone, 24 April 2025. A screenshot from this article is below:

Yours Truly has written extensively on the board here regarding an organization called BIO (https://www.bio.org/.) Please see: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/07/04/health-friday-open-thread-7-4-2025-independence-day-edition-the-250th-birthday-of-the-united-states-of-america/. BIO is the organization that is actively working behind the scenes to have HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., removed. This is the organization that “partners closely” with the United States Defense Department in the development of vaccines and other technologies. This organization held a conference for its “partners” and investors in March 2025. Dr. Martin Makary was a headliner speaker at this conference. Please see: https://convention.bio.org/program-1/fireside-chat-martin-makary-md-mph-commissioner-food-drugs-us-food-drug-administration. (Yours Truly was unable to find a copy of the video of this “fireside chat”, nor to find a transcript. It appears that this presentation was available only to attendees of the BIO convention.) Also see: https://convention.bio.org/speaker/martin-makary. Jon Fleetwood discusses this situation on his Substack, here: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/trump-fda-chief-headlines-gates-tied, “Trump FDA Chief Headlines Gates-Tied ‘BIO 2025″ Biotech Convention as Pandemic Infrastructure Expands”, 17 June 2025. Please see the screenshot from the Fleetwood article, below:

In addition, there is another part of this “tapestry”: the statements by Dr. Makary himself as recorded in https://bgrdc.com/, a “Premier Bipartisan Public Affairs Firm” (per their website) based in Washington, DC. The following screenshots are from https://bgrdc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Dr-Makary-Policy-Positions.pdf:

Dr. Makary is involved with drug and/or other companies:

Which begs the question: Does this indicate that Dr. Makary may have conflicts of interest in certain areas?

Dr. Makary: Herd immunity from COVID-19 is via infection AND COVID-19 “vaccination”:

Dr. Makary: The non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” should avoid “vaccination” until new COVID-19 “vaccines” are authorized:

Dr. Makary: The need for “universal masking” against COVID-19:

Dr. Makary: On the other hand, “universal masking” harms children:

Dr.Makary: COVID-19 “lockdowns” are acceptable:

PRIOR to his being confirmed as Commissioner of the FDA, Dr. Makary questioned the concept of FDA authorization of COVID-19 “vaccines” without proper testing:

And, last but not least, Dr. Makary urges people to not “dissect” what now-HHS Secretary Kennedy, Jr., said years ago:

Which last screenshot begs the question: Has Dr. Makary apparently applied the “don’t dissect what someone said years ago” standard to himself as regards “the new FDA” that he and Dr. Prasad have created and that Dr. Makary is now implementing at the FDA?

There is a final piece to the “tapestry”, regarding the announcement by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on 5 August 2025, that HHS was cancelling 22 contracts for “vaccine development under BARDA.” Please see: https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-winds-down-mrna-development-under-barda.html. However, BARDA is going to be “allowed” (how did this happen?) to complete contracts already begun for the ARCT-2304 self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) Avian Influenza “vaccine”, AND for the development of the “latest RNA technology platform”, called trans-amplifying RNA (taRNA.) And it was the FDA, under Dr. Martin Makary, who granted Arcturus Therapeutics (the developer of ARCT-2304) “Fast Track” status on 10 April 2025 — just after he was confirmed as the new Commissioner of the FDA. Fierce Biotech has an article on the BARDA continuation of these two contracts. Please see: https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/hhs-cancels-all-mrna-vaccine-development-funded-barda, “HHS winds down mRNA vaccine development funded by BARDA”, by Darren Incorvaia, 5 August 2025. A screenshot from this article is below:

Jon Fleetwood discusses this situation on this Substack, here: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/hhs-terminated-22-mrna-projectsbut, “HHS Just Terminated 22 mRNA Projects — But Quietly Preserved the Bill Gates-Funded Bird Flu Shot”, 6 August 2025. Please see a screenshot from this article, below:

There is also an embedded video of an interview with Mr. Fleetwood in his article above.

Yours Truly also wrote about the self-amplifying RNA “vaccine”, ARCT-2304, on this board. Please see: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/06/20/health-friday-6-20-2025-the-new-fda-did-hhs-secretary-robert-f-kennedy-jr-approve-of-all-this/.

So, it would appear that, at the very least, FDA Commissioner Dr. Martin Makary “went along”, for whatever reason(s), with the cancelling of mRNA “vaccine” contracts, while at the same time, allowing BARDA to continue with the development of two very dangerous and unproven “vaccine platform technologies”: self-amplifying RNA and trans-amplifying RNA.

Refer above in today’s offering regarding the presence of Dr. Makary as a “headliner” at the BIO.org/ convention in March of this year. Representatives of both CSL Behring and Seqirus were at this convention. Arcturus Therapeutics IS A PARTNER WITH CSL / SEQIRUS in the development of ARCT-2304. Please see: https://arcturusrx.com/mrna-medicines-business-development/, under “Partnered RNA Medicines.”

Trans-amplifying RNA (taRNA), by the way, is a COMBINATION of two, “shorter” RNA fragments: one fragment encodes the antigen; the other fragment encodes the “replicase” (a replicase is an enzyme that facilitates the synthesis of another RNA molecule.)

Summary: In Yours Truly’s opinion, Dr. Martin Makary, the current Commissioner of the FDA, is a person of many convictions and viewpoints, some of which may be conflict with each other. It is up to individual readers to do their own research and form their own opinions.
