Top FDA Vaccine Official Forced Out, Says RFK Jr. Demanded Loyalty to “Misinformation and Lies”
In a devastating blow to public health integrity, Dr. Peter Marks—the FDA’s top vaccine official—was forced out of his role by RFK Jr. himself, the man Trump installed to run Health and Human Services.
Marks didn’t mince words. In his resignation letter, he accused Kennedy of demanding not science, but “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”
This isn’t just another resignation. It’s a red siren warning: the nation’s top vaccine watchdog has been purged for refusing to rubber-stamp conspiracy theories. And the people now steering America’s health policy aren’t just unqualified—they’re actively hostile to truth.
Key Developments:
Marks was given an ultimatum—resign or be fired—by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose track record of anti-vaccine propaganda made this ouster inevitable. (NPR)
In his resignation letter, Marks said the FDA is “no longer able to operate as a science-based agency,” directly blaming RFK Jr. for undermining public trust in vaccines and compromising the agency’s mission. (The Guardian)
Marks has served at the FDA for over a decade, overseeing vaccine approvals through flu seasons, Ebola responses, and the COVID-19 pandemic. His forced exit signals a profound shift in the FDA’s independence.
According to internal sources, RFK Jr. personally pushed for Marks’ removal, frustrated by his defense of mRNA vaccines and resistance to unproven “natural remedies.” (POLITICO)
The FDA has not named a replacement, fueling concerns that RFK Jr. will install a loyalist more aligned with fringe health beliefs than scientific consensus. (WSJ)
The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?
Let’s be clear—this wasn’t a resignation. It was a purge.
RFK Jr., elevated to power by Trump’s war on science, has now pushed out one of the most respected public health leaders in the country.
The winners? Grifters, conspiracy theorists, and the dark-money networks that profit off fear.
The losers? All of us. Especially the parents, seniors, and immunocompromised Americans now facing a future where our top vaccine watchdog has been replaced by political sycophants.
This is the right-wing deep state in action: undermine science, consolidate power, and silence anyone who won’t bend the knee.
🔍 Why This Matters:
Vaccines are one of the most effective public health tools in human history. The person overseeing their safety and distribution just got ousted—not for wrongdoing, but for doing his job.
And RFK Jr.—a man known for peddling long-debunked vaccine conspiracies—is now calling the shots at HHS.
If they can erase science at the FDA, what’s next?
🚨 The Bottom Line:
This isn’t just a personnel change. It’s a declaration of war on public health.
Trump and RFK Jr. are replacing competence with conspiracy, and turning America’s health agencies into ideological battlegrounds.
They’re not just letting people get sick—they’re making it policy.

Having worked at the FDa for five years, I can say that the loss of Peter Marks is a travesty. In any large bureaucracy there are people that are critical to the smooth functioning of the whole. My impression is that Peter was one of those people in an organization that protects the American public every day. It is sad that he left but I can certainly understand the frustrations of trying every day to do the right thing and being undercut by an idiot.
This is unbelievable. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. David Kessler was on with Rachel Maddow tonite & he said Dr. Marks was the guy who saved Donald's life by giving him monoclonal antibodies when he was in the hospital with covid. And this is the thanks Dr. Marks gets. If we knew then what we know now...
