Summary

Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, resigned after reportedly being forced out amid clashes with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

In his resignation letter, Marks wrote that Kennedy wanted "subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies."

He criticized Kennedy’s stance on vaccines, accusing him of undermining public confidence.

Marks, who led the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research since 2016, played a key role in authorizing Covid vaccines and spearheading Operation Warp Speed. Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist, has questioned the safety of Covid and MMR vaccines despite scientific consensus.

    Sure act like trump. That's the solution. Next you should close your borders entirely.

    Some vaccines that may be possible but I can't imagine it would be cheap even if you could check for the 20+ vaccines I've had.

    Your motivation seems to be to punish good people for Trump's actions. Pretty fucked up, petty, pointless, and unproductive if you ask me.

    Europeans love their hubris. Don't count on them getting off their high horse anytime soon. They'll laugh at us while we die. We are on our own.

    We are on our own.

    Yes, America, you are.

    Because your government is doing everything they can to isolate you from the rest of the world.

    America is racing down the road to becoming a pariah state, and far too few of your fellow citizens are willing to do anything to even try to stop it.

    It's not the rest of the world's job to save you from yourselves. We are doing what we need to do to protect ourselves from your rapidly declining country.

    So that sounds reasonable and so I'm not sure what op was so mad about or suggesting. I thought they were also referring to visits.

    I'm saying for those of us over 20 years old it's probably hard or impossible to prove anything. I think it's rather ironic that the reaction to trump being a piece of shit isolationist is to further isolate, not the government but people trying to escape it.

    How much were you expecting your "escape" to Europe to cost?
