The top vaccine official with the Food and Drug Administration has resigned and criticized the nation’s top health official for allowing “misinformation and lies” to guide his thinking behind the safety of vaccinations. Dr. Peter Marks sent a letter Friday to Acting FDA Commissioner Sara Brenner saying that he would resign and retire by April 5 as director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. In his letter, Marks said he had tried to work with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., over his concerns about vaccine safety but concluded that “truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary.” The top vaccine official with the Food and Drug Administration has resigned and criticized the nation’s top health official for allowing “misinformation and lies” to guide his thinking behind the safety of vaccinations.
