Her departure follows a series of resignations at the FDA, including Commissioner Marty Makary and vaccine chief Dr. Vinay Prasad. Hoeg, who was closely aligned with Makary, had been scrutinizing the safety of antidepressants and COVID-19 vaccines. She expressed no regrets in a social media post about her dismissal. Dr. Mike Davis will replace her, while Karim Mikhail has been appointed as the interim director of the vaccine center. The FDA continues to undergo significant restructuring amid political pressures.
