High-Profile FDA Officials Resign Over Biden’s Rushed Push For Booster Shots
The Federalist ^ | 09/01/2021 | Jordan Davidson

Several high-profile U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials are resigning from their positions within the federal agency in protest of the Biden administration’s overreach when it comes to COVID-19-related scientific decisions such as booster shots.

Despite the lack of clear evidence in support of booster shots, the Biden administration plans to move forward with supplemental jabs for adults beginning as early as the White House’s Sept. 20 deadline, pending the FDA’s approval. This pressure from the Democrat president and his administration to offer “premature and unnecessary” consent to something that scientific data does not conclusively back up, reports indicate, is causing strife within the regulatory agency.

Among those leaving are research head Marion Gruber, who will depart the FDA in October after spending 32 years in the federal agency, and vaccine research and development OVRR Deputy Director Phil Krause, who will leave in November after more than 10 years at the agency, according to a report from BioCentury.

“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 [Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research] 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,” Endpoints News reported.

NEW: Senior officials Marion Gruber and Phil Krause leaving the FDA. Apparently, "they're frustrated that CDC and their ACIP committee are involved in decisions that they think should be up to the FDA" and especially concerned about "booster shots."

The FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Director Peter Marks lamented the employee loss in a letter to his other staff but said the search to replace the officials has already begun.

Despite Marks’ letter, Politico reported that several other FDA officials are more than disgruntled as top administrators in the agency, such as FDA acting Commissioner Janet Woodcock, have already bent to the will of the president and even join his unproven efforts to push booster shots.

“Woodcock and Marks were instrumental in crafting an Aug. 18 statement from HHS officials on the Sept. 20 booster timeline, said one senior official,” Politico reported. “That person said that the timeline was informed in part by Woodcock and Marks’ estimation of when they would get key data from vaccine makers, but also could shift based on new data, echoing the joint statement.”

Just got back from the pharmacist, there were people that came in and asked for the booster shot. The pharmacist gave it to them.

Again — FREEDOM TO CHOOSE.

If you want it, knock yourself out, just don’t go supporting a government who will COERCE you to get it if you don’t want to.

So, the decision to approve the Pfizer jab was political and not medical.

Somewhere fellow Americans we have to draw a line in the sand....or we lose everything!

Taking Ivermectin - no shots of shit for me! No 2030 plan that says - ‘you will own nothing and you will be happy’ shit for me!

I work for what I have and have a few things and HAVE BEEN PAYING TAXES so far! What would happen if everyone stopped paying taxes on same day - just wondering?

They’d just keep printing $100 bills and throwing them in the air to all the hew low lifers the are allowing in here by the millions!

Thank you new GEN-Xers and college grads and student - dems - how very very stupid!

TRUMP was the only thing stopping this new world order shit and it is fast paced on the wayQ That’s why 2020 was absolutely STOLEN and the CCP virus was man made and timed to hurt TRUMP and open up endless mail end illegal voting!

Oh yea the vaccines ARE dangerous and will make the virus worse if you have taken them. Also you are more likely to get the virus after taking the vaccines than if you don;t.

They are under reporting the really big issues folks are having taking the vaccines.

So in most all places and studies (though vastly under reported) those who have not taken the vaccines are less likely to get it and if they do are now no more likely to die from it than some one who has taken the vaccines except in very special situations such as obesity, etc!

Bottom line no one ever touches (except Rand Paul)that needs to be addressed is the CCP virus was made with help and money from USA in CCP labs in China as a bio weapon to reduce population as a minimum - so this is a WAR!

Who will go to jail for treason?

When will we take our country back?

I’ve taken no shots - besides they are not real vaccines and no one will tell anyone about the tracking ingredients in them.

I take Ivermectin and loads of Vit (ZINC, D3, C, k-2, Quequine, melatonin, etc) that have been published since last Feb 2020
