The Food and Drug Administration's top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, abruptly resigned Friday, saying in a searing letter that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr's aggressive stance on vaccines was irresponsible and posed a danger to the public. "It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies," Dr. Marks wrote to Sara Brenner, the agency's acting commissioner. Dr. Marks resigned under pressure, according to a person familiar with the matter who said an official with the Department of Health and Human Services told Dr. Marks on Friday that he could either resign or be fired. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03/28/us/trump-greenland-vance-news#fda-vaccines-rfk-jr-peter-marks Accessed: 28 March 2025 at 2117 MST
Hours earlier in West Virginia, Mr. Kennedy asserted that Covid did not kill healthy people, contrary to research showing that 30 percent of those who died early in the pandemic did not have underlying conditions. Mr. Kennedy has also extolled the value of vitamin A as a treatment during a major measles outbreak in Texas, while downplaying the value of vaccines. On Thursday, he announced that he was creating a new office to study vaccine injuries. Dr. Marks noted in his letter that measles, "which killed more than 100,000 unvaccinated children last year in Africa and Asia," because of complications, "had been eliminated from our shores." He added that he had been willing to address Mr. Kennedy's concerns about vaccine safety and transparency with a series of public meetings and by working with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, but was rebuffed. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03/28/us/trump-greenland-vance-news#fda-vaccines-rfk-jr-peter-marks Accessed: 28 March 2025 at 2117 MST
"Undermining confidence in well- established vaccines that have met the high standards for quality, safety and effectiveness that have been in place for decades at F.D.A. is irresponsible, detrimental to public health, and a clear danger to our nation's health, safety and security," Dr. Marks wrote. He went on to express his desire for the current administration's damage to be limited. "My hope is that during the coming years, the unprecedented assault on scientific truth that has adversely impacted public health in our nation comes to an end so that the citizens of our country can fully benefit from the breadth of advances in medical science," Dr. Marks wrote. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03/28/us/trump-greenland-vance-news#fda-vaccines-rfk-jr-peter-marks Accessed: 28 March 2025 at 2117 MST
