RFK Jr forces top vaccine official Peter Marks to quit. He busts Kennedy's lies in resignation letter

Dr

Peter Marks

, the director of FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, was forced to resign from his post after he apparently did not support health secretary RFK Jr's ideas. The resignation has sparked alarm among doctors, who are slamming the Kennedy-led department for becoming instrumental in perpetuating lies.
In his resignation letter, Dr Marks wrote: "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".
“This is what happens when you hire a 20 year virulent anti-vaccine activist who continues to deny the science that vaccines don’t cause autism, and put him in a position of influence,” Dr Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and a vaccine adviser to the FDA, told CNN, referring to Kennedy.

“So what you’re about to see is studies done, presumably under the imprimatur of the CDC, showing that vaccines cause autism. That’s what you’re about to see, because he will put in place people who will shoehorn data to make it look that way, which will create more fear, will create likely more people who will choose not to be vaccinated, and you’ll just see more and more in the way of these outbreaks.” The department asked the CDC to study vaccines and autism though there's strong evidence that vaccines do not cause autism.
"This is not how we make America healthy," Dr Ashish Jhan, dean of Brown University School of Public Health, said reacting to Dr Marks' exit.
The US is currently battling a measles outbreak with cases reported in 18 states, the epicenter of which is in Texas and New Mexico. Two measles-related deaths have been reported so far, one in each of Texas and New Mexico. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the vast majority of cases have been in people who are either unvaccinated or have an unknown vaccine status.
In his resignation letter, Marks commented on the measles outbreak and said: "Reminds us of what happens when confidence in well-established science underlying public health and well-being is undermined."
