US Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine director resigns
The director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Biological Evaluation and Research, responsible for vaccines, is resigning, citing the inability to work with the new health secretary.
In a letter to the acting head of the FDA, Peter Marks said he would resign and retire effective April 5.
The director of the Center for Biological Evaluation and Research said he was willing to work with the secretary on vaccine safety, which Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has concerns about, but concluded that cooperation was not possible.
Peter Marks wrote that it had become clear to him “that truth and transparency are undesirable from the secretary, who prefers to see his own misinformation and lies confirmed.”
According to information from FDA officials, Marks had previously received an ultimatum from the minister that if he did not resign from his position as director, he would be fired.
The new leadership of the Ministry of Health – in the spirit of making government work more efficient – decided to lay off a quarter of the full-time employees at the ministry and its affiliated offices.
