Summary
Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, resigned after reportedly being forced out amid clashes with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In his resignation letter, Marks wrote that Kennedy wanted “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”
He criticized Kennedy’s stance on vaccines, accusing him of undermining public confidence.
Marks, who led the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research since 2016, played a key role in authorizing Covid vaccines and spearheading Operation Warp Speed. Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist, has questioned the safety of Covid and MMR vaccines despite scientific consensus.
I’ve been saying for years that we’re going to have a civil war. I predicted it when I was a hard line conservative and I’ve been saying now as a bleeding heart liberal.
I was just hoping that I’d be much older when it happened.
I thought that in the 80’s. And then I thought nah. And now here we are.
