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’m saying for those of us over 20 years old it’s probably hard or impossible to prove anything. I think it’s rather ironic that the reaction to trump being a piece of shit isolationist is to further isolate, not the government but people trying to escape it.

          You apparently misunderstood in two ways. I’m saying if you were vaccinated for measles in 1987 it’s unlikely you have a record of it. Not a damned thing to do with understanding. Nor did I hint that being younger was any sort of disadvantage.
