FDA Head & Former ExL Speaker, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, Takes to Twitter With Clear Stance on Vaccines
Monday July 24th, 2017
Recently sworn-in commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Dr. Scott Gottlieb has affirmed his stance on the vaccination debate in many instances, but a recent Twitter post is sure to make his intentions on the matter perfectly clear. Unlike the man who appointed him to his position, President Donald Trump, toes the line of anti-vaccine and pro-vaccine, Gottlieb is embracing his new status to spread scientific data and other newsworthy tidbits on the matter.
In a message to his followers, Dr. Gottlieb shared an infographic the country before and after the development and administration of vaccines. The staggering information, which isn’t new in any way, is delivered in an easy-to-understand graphic that makes it abundantly clear on where Gottlieb stands in regards to this subject. Check out his tweet right here:

Gottlieb has also been vocal about the opioid crisis, increasing generics on the market, drug pricing, and more in the first few months in his position.
