Top F.D.A. Vaccine Official Resigns, Citing Kennedy’s ‘Misinformation and Lies’

The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official,
Dr. #Peter #Marks,
💥abruptly resigned Friday,
saying in a searing letter that Health Secretary
#Robert F. #Kennedy #Jr.’s aggressive stance on vaccines was⚠️ irresponsible and posed a danger to the public.

“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,”
Dr. Marks wrote to #Sara #Brenner,
the agency’s acting commissioner.

Dr. Marks resigned under pressure,
according to a person familiar with the matter who said an official with the Department of Health and Human Services told Dr. Marks on Friday that
🔥he could either resign or be fired.

Hours earlier in West Virginia,
👉Mr. Kennedy asserted that Covid did not kill healthy people,
contrary to research showing that
30 percent of those who died early in the pandemic did not have underlying conditions.

Mr. Kennedy has also extolled the value of 👉vitamin A as a treatment during a major measles outbreak in Texas,
while downplaying the value of #vaccines.

On Thursday, he announced that he was creating a new
👉office to study
"vaccine injuries".

"Lebertran, Vitamin A gegen Masern. Masern härten das Immunsystem ab." – tödlich dumme Ami-Eltern. Also so richtig, richtig, richtig dumm-dumm, auf Kosten des Todes der eigenen Kinder. Und stolz darauf.
Tödliche, mörderische Dummheit, das Bindeglied im Denken von #Kennedy #Trump #Musk #Merz #Putin & Co.

»Kontraproduktiv, irreführend und für uns Menschen lebensgefährlich«:
In den USA herrscht Eiermangel, denn die Vogelgrippe grassiert in den Legehennenbetrieben. Nun hat US-Gesundheitsminister #Kennedy vorgeschlagen, dem #Virus freien Lauf zu lassen – um resistente Hühner zu züchten. Der Leiter des nationalen Vogelgrippe-Referenzlabors, Timm Harder, erklärt , warum das eine brandgefährliche Idee ist. Mein Interview bei spektrum.de:

A Child Died of #Measles. Then Her Parents Appeared in an #AntiVax Video. – Mother Jones motherjones.com/politics/2025/ “they do reflect statements made recently by #Kennedy from his position as head of HHS. In a Fox News interview earlier this month, Kennedy claimed, without citing research, that treating measles with steroids, antibiotics, and cod liver oil yielded “very, very good results.”

I've never really been one for the whole "this is a distraction!" thing when discussing politics, mostly because they don't give a fuck about distracting us.. they'll just do what they want anyways.

But I actually do believe that the release of the Kennedy Assassination documents are designed to be a distraction. 🤷 Don't know why it matters, though.. they're just doing what they want anyways.

"In den #USA breiten sich die #Masern aus – obwohl sie in dem Land seit einem Vierteljahrhundert ausgerottet waren.[...]
Doch anstatt mit einer Kampagne zu Masernimpfungen aufzurufen, propagiert der neue Gesundheitsminister Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. Vitamine als Schutz [und] schürt Zweifel an der Sicherheit der Impfung."

WOW, Amanda #Marcotte minces no words when describing the fascist and #eugenic nature of Kennedy's 'health' plans.

- punishing people for perceived personal failures by putting them into labour camps.

- work full-time, presumably for little or no pay

-ideally in a "rural area" where they are denied most contact with family and friends.

- this vision of #labour camps isn't just vibes

- fits with Trump's fascist inclinations to "purify" the country.
