BREAKING: In a major blow to vaccine efforts, senior FDA leaders stepping down
Two of the FDA’s most senior vaccine leaders are exiting from their positions, raising fresh questions about the Biden administration and the way that it’s sidelined the FDA.
Marion Gruber, director of the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research & Review and 32-year veteran of the agency, will leave at the end of October, and OVRR deputy director Phil Krause, who’s been at FDA for more than a decade, will leave in November. The news, first reported by BioCentury, is a massive blow to confidence in the agency’s ability to regulate vaccines.
The bombshell announcement comes at a particularly crucial moment, as boosters and children’s shots are being weighed by the regulator. The departures also come as the administration has recently jumped ahead of the FDA’s reviews of booster shots, announcing that they might be available by the week of Sept. 20.
A former senior FDA leader told Endpoints that they’re departing because they’re frustrated that CDC and their ACIP committee are involved in decisions that they think should be up to the FDA. The former FDAer also said he’s heard they’re upset with CBER director Peter Marks for not insisting that those decisions should be kept inside FDA. What finally did it for them was the White House getting ahead of FDA on booster shots.
FDA’s former acting chief scientist Luciana Borio added on Twitter, “FDA is losing two giants who helped bring us many safe and effective vaccines over decades of public service.”
“These two are the leaders for Biologic (vaccine) review in the US. They have a great team, but these two are the true leaders of CBER. A huge global loss if they both leave,” Former BARDA director Rick Bright wrote, weighing in on the news. “Dr. Gruber is much more than the Director. She is a global leader. Visionary mastermind behind global clinical regulatory science for flu, Ebola, Mers, Zika, Sars-cov-2, many others.”
In a letter from Marks to staff, he explained:
Kind of an odd age to be bailing. Usually 62 if you can, or hold off till 66, or 70.
You are right! This sh#% can’t go on forever
The gator is vaxxtrolling today, I see.
“Here....here’s one more....again...take all of these suspended for caution/contaminated shots that you want.....”
1. That is not the 1.6 million doses your referenced.
2. Does not refer to your metal shards.
3. Your previous link says the Japanese Health Ministry referred to stopper fragments from improper insertion.

My metal shards post?
Go back and re-read. I posted a link to YOUR question, to another poster.
Why are you so defensive of these contaminated shots, on a thread about two FDA peeps stepping down?
I was trying to help you find the answer to your question, since you are apparently too lazy to do a simple search, yourself.
No kidding. I guess s/he’s taking this metal shards comment, that was mentioned, upthread....personally 😱
My thoughts exactly!
“My metal shards post?
Go back and re-read. I posted a link to YOUR question, to another poster.”
Then you should have known that your posts did not support his claim of metal shards.
“I was trying to help you find the answer to your question, since you are apparently too lazy to do a simple search, yourself.”
No! I knew he couldn’t source his ‘metal shards’ claim.
And you can’t either!
“Why are you so defensive of these contaminated shots, on a thread about two FDA peeps stepping down?”
Why are you trying so hard to defend his false claim?
Depends on how many $$ rerouted in his favor over the years
Getting out of the Biden/Fauci house before the roof caves in.
“Getting out of the Biden/Fauci house before the roof caves in.”
You should read the article.
All Purpose Troll must have a purpose to troll about.
You should stop trolling.
SMDH
I would like to make another speculation.
The pandemic is to scare you into getting the vaccines. The vaccine passport is to scare hold outs into getting vaccines and more boosters for the already vaxxed, just so they can do things normal people would normally do.
Once the vax kills a third of the world, the elites will unleash the robot demons.
IMHO.
Now that they’re no longer worried about their jobs, maybe they’ll tell some truths that their former bosses desperately want hidden.
