<p class="css-k3zb6l-Paragraph e1e4oisd0" data-type="paragraph">The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) top vaccine official, who played a key role in Operation Warp Speed, has reportedly been pushed out of the agency.</p>
<p data-type="paragraph">Dr. Peter Marks, who served as the Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the FDA, submitted his resignation letter on Friday, after he was informed he would be fired if he didn&#8217;t resign, sources <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/top-vaccine-official-out-at-fda-f39a5a16" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Wall Street Journal.</p>
<div class="paywall css-1u1nl00-PaywalledContentContainer e1qcjy9n0">
<p class="css-k3zb6l-Paragraph e1e4oisd0" data-type="paragraph">“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 said in his resignation letter, referring to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</p>
<p data-type="paragraph">“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,” Marks added.</p>
<p data-type="paragraph">An unnamed HHS official suggested Marks was pushed out because he refused to get on-board with Kennedy&#8217;s agenda. “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,” the official told the Journal.</p>
<p class="css-k3zb6l-Paragraph e1e4oisd0" data-type="paragraph">Marks was with the FDA since the Obama administration, starting in 2012. During his tenure, he oversaw vaccines, biotech drugs, and blood products, and helped ensure that vaccines were effective and safe. His resignation takes effect on April 5.</p>
<p data-type="paragraph">The ouster follows numerous vaccine-related moves from RFK. As previously reported by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mahas-latest-wins-on-fluoride-food-and-vaccines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a>, under Kennedy&#8217;s leadership, the National Institutes of <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/03/10/vaccines-nih-rfk-research-canceled/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Health</a> will stop spending money to find out why Americans are hesitant to take vaccines. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is studying whether there is any link between vaccinations and the rise in autism.</p>
<p data-type="paragraph">Kennedy announced this week that he’s restructuring HHS and terminating tens of thousands of employees. “What I found when I came to HHS, is really a sprawling bureaucracy. We have over 100 communications departments — we should have one. We have 40 IT departments, 40 procurement departments, dozens of HR departments,” Kennedy <a href="https://x.com/michaeljknowles/status/1905403551024554014" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Daily Wire host Michael Knowles</a>. “And that is where we’re doing the cuts. We’re going down from 82,000 personnel to 62,000.”</p>
<p data-type="paragraph">“We’re keeping the scientists, we’re keeping the front-line providers,” he added. “We trying to do our best, not only to serve as stewards of the taxpayer money, but also to make the agency more efficient.”</p>
