Biotech group warns exit of top FDA vaccine official will ‘erode scientific standards’
Rare admonition from a sector that has largely been silent in the face of the second Trump administration
Summary
The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) warned that Dr. Peter Marks’ forced resignation as the FDA’s top vaccine official will erode scientific standards and hinder medical innovation.
Marks resigned after accusing Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of spreading “misinformation and lies.”
His departure, reportedly prompted by an ultimatum, has drawn criticism amid ongoing concerns about Kennedy’s vaccine skepticism.
Marks had led vaccine safety efforts since 2016 and was pivotal in Operation Warp Speed. Senator Bill Cassidy called the resignation “a loss” and urged for unbiased, expert leadership at the FDA.
Enjoy the brain drain America. Canada, China, and the EU are all grateful for your self imposed sacrifice of smart people to prop up stupid people.
I reckon that's the point
