Dr. Peter Marks, the agency’s top vaccine official and a key figure in the first Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed, has been ousted from his post.
Dr. Peter Marks is an American hematologist-oncologist who has served as the director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2016.
As CBER director, Marks was responsible for reviewing and providing advice during product development, evaluating applications, and making approval decisions based on safety and effectiveness data.
He oversaw the FDA’s vaccine programs and played a pivotal part in the rapid development and approval of the experimental COVID-19 vaccines under Operation Warp Speed during President Donald Trump’s first term.
Sources close to the matter told the Wall Street Journal that Marks submitted his resignation on Friday after a blunt ultimatum from a Health and Human Services (HHS) official: step down voluntarily or face termination.
His exit, effective April 5, marks yet another victory for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s aggressive push to purge the federal health apparatus of what he calls entrenched bureaucrats peddling “misinformation and lies.”
In a scathing resignation letter addressed to acting FDA Commissioner Sara Brenner, he took direct aim at Kennedy, accusing the Secretary of rejecting “truth and transparency” in favor of “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”
“If Peter Marks does not want to get behind restoring science to its golden standard and promoting radical transparency, then he has no place at FDA under the strong leadership of Secretary Kennedy.”
More from WSJ:
He had wanted to stay in his position, though his support of immunizations conflicted with Kennedy’s skepticism, people familiar said.
Marks offered to work with Kennedy on holding a series of public meetings on vaccines with the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, and he sent a memo to Kennedy proposing listening sessions on immunizations, one of the people said.
“My hope is that during the coming years, the unprecedented assault on scientific truth that has adversely impacted public health in our nation comes to an end,” he wrote in the letter.
Marks will leave the FDA as Kennedy has begun to reshape the Health and Human Services Department, including by making plans to lay off 10,000 employees and close offices.
[…]
Marks is the third top leader at the FDA to leave this year, after the departures of drug chief Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni and human foods chief Jim Jones.
Marks’ resignation was celebrated online, with prominent voices hailing it as a long-overdue purge of entrenched corruption.
Investigative reporter Steve Kirsch wrote, “GAME CHANGING! Peter Marks is GONE!!! Marks claimed he wanted to stop misinformation but REFUSED all offers to meet with the ‘misinformation spreaders’ to settle the question on just who is spreading the misinformation!”

Daily Caller journalist Emily Kopp added, “Peter Marks circumvented FDA’s advisors on COVID boosters, spurred the resignations of top vaccine regulators, and unilaterally approved a Duchenne muscular dystrophy drug that just killed a teenager. Many will sanitize his record for political purposes, but I have a long memory.”

Commentator Camus chimed in, “It’s a great day for accountability—RFK Jr. took out FDA vaccine pusher Peter Marks, and it’s about time! Marks pressed for full mRNA shot approval—not for science, but to set up mandates that trampled our freedoms. He wanted those jabs locked in quick so Biden could force them on us all. Kennedy spotted the ploy and shut him down—smart move! Marks’ exit is a big step in dismantling the Pharma grip. Win for liberty!”

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) also weighed in, tweeting, “Last year I held a hearing exposing COVID vaccine malfeasance led by Peter Marks at the FDA. Instead of verifying safety and efficacy of the shots, Marks swept things under the rug and became a cheerleader for the jab. Yesterday Peter Marks resigned from the FDA under RFKjr.!” He followed up, “This is good. In fact, this is what draining the swamp actually looks like. I had the opportunity to depose Peter Marks (recorded interview several hours long), and his conduct at FDA was way out of line. He should have been cut loose years ago.”

Well........ Bye
Vax nazis have no place in government or in any position of power or authority. They belong in prison. I got fired for not taking the clot shot and I will never forgive.
“However, 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,” Marks wrote.FDA's top vaccine scientist is out, citing Kennedy's 'misinformation and lies'
with the information put out by him & FDA as supporting evidence:
His 'Just a Minute' propaganda video series, likely responsible for convincing THOUSANDS TO MILLIONS of Americans to get a jab which WE NOW KNOW IS/WAS BOTH UNSAFE AND NEVER INTENDED FOR THE USE THAT HE/THEY SPREAD "LIES/MISINFORMATION")
Which COVID-19 vaccine is right for me or my children? – Just a Minute! with Dr. Peter Marks
He, fauxi and others like him need to under indictment, be paraded on a perp walk and face the full weight of the DJT DOJ... (but I have little faith it will happen, especially with RFK Jr at the helm of HHS)
Good riddance to bad rubbish. But, it’s not enough to just fire these a-holes. They deserve to be prosecuted for forcing Covid clot shots and for the wrongful deaths that occurred, the forced masking of everyone down to two year olds, lost jobs, and quarantines. Pfizer/Moderna should be sued onto bankruptcy to pay millions on reparations to the millions they callously injured.
Fauci got most of the media coverage—but this dirtball would have fit in well on Joseph Mengele’s team of evil.

Do you really believe there should be millions in reparations for a vaccine that saved millions of lives?
Name one life it saved.
Big Pharma should pay massive damages for every human being they injured or killed.
Their senior executives should be put on trial for crimes against humanity.
Let them pull out their phony baloney statistics and see if it saves their hides.
I’ve yet to see real proof of that statement. I sure as hell didn’t save my life because I repeatedly rejected it. My son’s family of 6 all took the shot and boosters (wife works at a hospital - required to keep her job. Every single one has had COVID at least three times. So save your breath. You’ll never convince me this whole thing was legit.
No, not bye. Hello, criminal investigation.
"Resign or be prosecuted"
Follow the Science has turned into Pardon the Science....
Yesterday Peter Marks resigned from the FDA under RFKjr
For that to happen stuff has too be Illegal, not just wrong.
We remain purebloods.
On what planet?
Not a vaccine, as it did not prevent the Wuhanic Plague, and the definition of a vaccine was rewritten in dictionaries and encyclopedias.
Neither safe nor effective.
All of the animals used for testing were euthanized inside of 48 hours instead of being allowed to live out their lives to see if any side effects developed.
The “control groups” of humans were vaccinated to prevent following up on any long term effects.
To be effective a mRNA vaccine would have to be developed with the “envelope” section of mRNA, NOT from the Spike. By the time your body detects the Spike you are already infected.
The “Delta” variant of COVID (complete with the toxins the Chinese hung on the Spike, was instantiated on the Spike of the COVID injections.
Contrary to the published propaganda at the time, Emergency Rooms were not overrun with the unvaccinated, as it was a pandemic of those who had gotten the mRNA jabs.
He’ll be working for Pfizer in a few weeks
Two weeks to flatten the curve..
A state of emergency that lasts years is not an medical health emergency
