More gay and bisexual men can soon donate blood, after they were banned for decades

Biden's FDA chief
- was also Obama's FDA chief fo one year (until Trump)
- then was chief of health for Google
The FDA chief who STILL hasn't opened vital baby formula factory: Obama-era appointee Robert Califf 'turned blind eye' to opioid crisis, made millions out of Big Pharma and Google and is loathed by Reps and Dems... but was brought back by Biden
Robert Califf, 71, was appointed by Joe Biden to be FDA commissioner and was sworn in two months ago
He scraped through a Senate vote, narrowly winning the approval of senators with a 50-46 vote
Democrats including Bernie Sanders, Joe Manchin, Richard Blumenthal and Ed Markey all voted against his appointment
Califf, who was FDA chief for the final year of the Obama administration, is know for his close ties to big pharma
He was founding director of the Duke Clinical Research Institute - the world's largest academic clinical research organization
The Institute received more than 60 percent of its funding from industry, and Califf cultivated lucrative ties to the medical industry
He was also accused of not doing enough, while in the FDA, to combat the opioid crisis
Questions are now being asked about Califf's oversight of the shutdown of the Sturgis baby formula plant, amid a nationwide shortage
