Tracy Hoeg is a fraud. She advertises "orthobiologic" therapies on her website, ALL unapproved by FDA. Now she's in charge of CDER. She is a joke. Unqualified. Full-stop.
Tracy Hoeg: Voting to stop universally vaccinating newborns against hep B vaccine would "put us in line with peer countries."

Note: Which peer countries is she talking about? Taiwan began immunizing all babies on first day of life 6 years before the U.S., with huge success.
