After consideration, I have removed the entire "controversy" section from this article. I initially removed a sub-section dealing with the Trump administration's family separation policy, because it did not meaningfully connect Adams to the policy—all but one of the sources did not actually refer to Adams, and the one that did only did so as an open letter addressed to him.
I have now removed the sub-sections "Tylenol vs morphine" and "Vaping study". Both are sourced entirely to what would fairly be described as editorial pieces by the American Council on Science and Health, an industry-backed group. Unless other sources have covered these supposed controversies, I would say their inclusion is undue weight. Additionally, the ACSH (and the article) appear to exaggerate Adams's actions by claiming that his tweets are recommendations or endorsements. —Emufarmers(T/C) 08:34, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Adams is on the Task Force for dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, since Feb. 2020. Therefor I think it is relevant to include the following:
"On the March 8, 2020, Adams told the CNN that the coronavirus pandemic was "contained in certain areas of the country", adding "If we had massive numbers of cases we would be seeing more deaths. And so we actually feel pretty good that some parts of the country have contained it just like when you look at the flu."[1]"
Alas, that is being removed. Comments? Huldra (talk) 22:33, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
As a member of the task force, Adams makes daily appearances in briefings, and says quite a lot. Quite clearly, we are not going to include everything he says - WP:NOTNEWS. Let's wait until this crisis is over, and see which of his statements, if any, are important and encyclopedic enough to be included. JungerMan Chips Ahoy! (talk) 22:44, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

We can't find a date-of-birth on such a high-profile (and public) figure? Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:54, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
I did find this: [1]. On his own personal Twitter page, he says it is his "birthday week" on September 16, 2018. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 18:01, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
In the Info-Box, this Wikipedia article previously stated ''birth_date = {{birth based on age as of date|42|2017|8|4}}''. This is "computer code", meaning that "Adams was age 42 on the specific date of August 4, 2017". As a result of this template, the Info-Box stated: Born 1974/1975 (age 44–45). Therefore, by deduction, Adams was born on September 22, 1974 (as opposed to September 22, 1975). I edited the article accordingly. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 18:56, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
