Dr. Marty Makary rose to national attention by skewering the medical establishment in books and papers.

Now the Johns Hopkins University surgeon and researcher has been nominated to lead the Food and Drug Administration .

Makary has called the U.S. food supply “poison,” says the federal government is the “greatest perpetrator of misinformation” about COVID-19 .

He'll appear Thursday before a Senate panel considering his nomination.

Makary told Congress that CDC and FDA “lied to the American people” about the need for boosters and other COVID measures.

Makary 's conclusion contradicted that of U.K. experts and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , which estimated the booster prevented 114 hospitalizations for every seven it caused in young people.

An FDA vaccine adviser says Makary ’s language has damaged public trust in health institutions.
