Top Vaccine Official Out at FDA

[RaleBulgarian]

“The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official has been pushed out, according to people familiar with the matter.

Dr. Peter Marks, who played a key role in the first Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed to develop Covid-19 vaccines, stepped down Friday. A Health and Human Services official gave him the choice Friday morning to resign or be fired, a person familiar with the matter said.

“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,” he wrote in a resignation letter addressed to acting FDA Commissioner Sara Brenner.

His resignation takes effect April 5, the letter said.”

Anyone surprised? Anyone?

Didn’t think so.

The expected result of placing the exact opposite of the right person in charge of HHS.

Expect more capable, qualified HHS professionals to be dismissed, or to quit in disgust over being prevented from doing their jobs protecting Americans.

What’s the over/under that Andrew Wakefield gets the job?

The nomination for HHS was one of the most damaging among many horrible nominations. It's the fault of Republican voters.

Well, if there's a silver lining, it's that after countless MAGA have died horribly from disease as a result of their Constitutionally protected right to act like idiots, the rest of us can buy their stuff for cheap.

Where was "truth and transparency" when we were investigating the origins of Covid-19?

Dumb ass anti-vax nutjobs. Wish we didn't fall down the stupid hole of conspiracy theories.

MAGA and their policies will kill Americans.

Good job Christians.

What a sick and silly comment. "The rest of us" are just as likely to die because of the idiot Kennedy as the Trump voters

Not me and mine. We'll drive or fly to Canada and pay for vaccines.

Unless Canada bans all US citizens from entering their country.

Covid and flu vaccines are free for visitors.

Other vaccines like MMR are not free for visitors but are available from private clinics for about what you'd pay in the US.

Canada encourages but doesn't require visitors to be vaccinated.

But if the US population becomes unvaccinated over time that might change.

I don't mind paying my fair share.

Truth is, the HHS director generally has very little to do with your health as an individual. At the end of the day everyone is responsible for their own health. You discuss your options with your doctor and make the best choice for yourself as you see fit.

If he starts banning vaccines you're going to find out he can have a hell of a lot to do with your health real quick.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

These idiots in the Trump administration are going to get us all killed. And if we’re not going to die we’ll all be poor as **** because we won’t have pensions, social security, or even our stock investments because Trump and his political allies are incompetent, stupid, and corrupt.

Over time Kennedy’s anti vax efforts have been responsible for countless needless deaths. He is a mass murderer.

There is no silver lining when diseases spread unnecessarily.

How would finding the answer to your question have helped in any meaningful way?

Truth is if we have another pandemic in the next 4 years, Kennedy’s role would likely slow down vaccine development resulting in even more deaths to add to those he is already responsible for.

The Chinese are not big on truth and transparency.

It would have made no difference at the time.

What will make a difference going forward is working with WHO to identify emerging zoonotic diseases, something Trump has decided not to do.

What you don't know, will hurt you.

At the end of the day everyone is responsible for their own health. You discuss your options with your doctor and make the best choice for yourself as you see fit.

Both can be true. The HHS director can have an impact on your health, just as you and your doctor can.
