The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine regulator abruptly resigned Friday, citing what he called Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s efforts to spread misinformation about the safety of immunizations, according to a letter obtained by Bloomberg.
Peter Marks, who was a key figure in Operation Warp Speed, stepped down from his position as the director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, which is responsible for the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, along with gene therapies and blood products.
