Dr. Peter Marks, the top vaccine regulator at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has announced his resignation, citing frustration over the growing influence of vaccine misinformation under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Marks, who has overseen the FDA's vaccine division for nearly a decade, played a key role in approving COVID-19 vaccines and other immunization efforts. In his resignation letter, obtained by The Associated Press, Marks criticized RFK Jr. for spreading "misinformation and lies" about vaccines, which he says have undermined public health and trust in the FDA.
