[RT @DrWoodcockFDA]: It is an honor and privilege to serve as Acting @US_FDA Commissioner. The FDA’s public health work is more critical than ever as we continue to fight this global pandemic.

@SteveFDA

As I depart from the FDA today, I do so with great admiration and respect for the FDA organization and our 18,000+ talented workforce. It has been a true honor to have served as the 24th Commissioner of this incredible agency, and I will forever be grateful for the experience.
As a nation, and as a public health agency, we faced some big challenges and turbulent times over the past year, most notably those stemming from the #COVID19 pandemic.
Through it all, FDA employees have been critical in helping to respond to this disease with scientific advances like the authorization of the 1st non-prescription OTC #COVID19 test, the authorization & approval of an antiviral agent, & the first two FDA-authorized COVID vaccines.
To our FDA staff, thank you for your dedication and resilience – and for always keeping science as your North Star in everything you do. I will be cheering you on as you continue to carry out the mission of the FDA.
It is important that you keep doing what you are doing on behalf of the American people. Remember it is because of you that we are #FDAStrong. – Steve
