Peter Marks, head of vaccines at FDA, resigns, and pens a proverbial "pot calling the kettle black" resignation letter. Good riddance to this Fauci wannabe.
Marks wraps himself in the garb of science, but his own statements reveal he never cared about science--see below
FDA authorized bivalent booster for 6 month olds after only a 3 day review of Pfizer documents
Actually, FDA authorized both the Moderna and Pfizer bivalent boosters for kids 6 months through 5 years today. It had already authorized them for everyone else. Don’t expect the new boosters to work, however. Three weeks ago, the NY Times titled its
Marks approves COVID boosters for 6 month olds, while admitting he didn’t know if they worked:
In an interview, Dr. Peter Marks, the Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine regulator, acknowledged the limitations of the available data on the updated boosters.
“It’s true, we’re not sure how well these vaccines will do yet against preventing symptomatic disease,” he said, particularly as the newer variants spread.
One of multiple times Peter Marks decided to overrule his expert advisers so he could license a new drug without evidence it worked:

Sarepta is extremely expensive and probably does not work. However it got licensed with a purchased 6 month review. The mfr must pay extra to get a decision, often before the staff have read all the documents.
He made a series of videos for FDA making claims about the COVID vaccines that had no evidence to support them. Per Congressman Thomas Massie:
Wasn't it the case that in 41 videos, Peter Marks himself, the person in charge of vaccine approval, was making claims that were not vetted by the FDA, and in fact would have been illegal for the manufacturer to make, yet the regulatory agency was making those claims?
He made many claims about the COVID vaccines and their licensed (or not) status early on that were blatant lies, which I blogged about—but I cannot find the post now.
Maryanne Demasi has published the self-serving resignation letter from Peter Marks here. Reading between the lines, he seems to have intended to remain at FDA to impede the Secretary’s agenda. Someone probably promised him a golden parachute were he able to succeed.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD RIDDANCEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! I hope you never ever get a good night sleep until you meet your well deserved punishment..
He should have been fired! That guy caused a whole lot of pain and suffering. I wonder how much they paid him?
