Dr. Peter Marks, an esteemed health official at the FDA, resigned after being pressured by HHS officials to support anti-vaccine sentiments and possibly hand over sensitive data. His commitment to evidence-based evaluations and trust from peers made his departure significant. Marks voiced concerns about a disturbing shift at HHS since vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took charge, evidenced by the removal of pro-vaccination campaigns and missed deadlines for COVID-19 vaccine approvals, which Marks believes poses grave risks to public health.
Marks earned trust and respect from academic and industry scientists for emphasizing the strongest evidence in evaluating new therapies, and for supporting new technologies and approaches.
Since Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a long-time vaccine skeptic, was appointed to head HHS, the agency has removed pro-vaccination public service ads made by the CDC.
