Under the strong leadership

Bad Kennedy is converting the FDA to a center for quackery.

The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine regulator was forced out of the agency Friday and sharply criticized Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his boss at the Department of Health and Human Services.

“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. Peter Marks wrote in his letter of resignation, which was obtained by NPR.

Marks has long steered the FDA’s regulation of vaccines as director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. He became especially well known during the first Trump administration for his work with Operation Warp Speed, which was credited with the fast development of COVID-19 vaccines.

Well there you go – vaccines. He should have said eat more oatmeal and wear a snakeskin around your left ankle.

In response to Mark’s resignation, an HHS official released a statement that if Marks “does not want to get behind restoring science to its golden standard and promoting radical transparency, then he has no place at FDA under the strong leadership of Secretary Kennedy.”

Wow. More poisonous every day.

“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 FDA is irresponsible, detrimental to public health, and a clear danger to our nation’s health, safety. and security,” Marks wrote in his resignation letter to Sara Brenner, acting commissioner of food and drugs.

The announcement was met with disappointment by other doctors.

“In forcing Peter Marks to resign, RFK Jr. is now the wolf guarding the hen house,” said Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccine expert at the University of Pennsylvania and long-time FDA advisor who directs the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Wolves guarding hen houses = what Trump and co are all about.
