Summary
Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, resigned after reportedly being forced out amid clashes with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In his resignation letter, Marks wrote that Kennedy wanted “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”
He criticized Kennedy’s stance on vaccines, accusing him of undermining public confidence.
Marks, who led the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research since 2016, played a key role in authorizing Covid vaccines and spearheading Operation Warp Speed. Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist, has questioned the safety of Covid and MMR vaccines despite scientific consensus.
You are right that the US has no national vaccine database. However some States have their own records database. I know mine does for instance. They know all the vaccines I’ve ever had. This does depend on the doctor/provider/hospital reporting to the State that they administered you a vaccine.
Correct, many states have their own databases. It was part of my job while in retail pharmacy in Oregon to check vaccination histories prior to giving them to verify they’re getting correct boosters at the right time
Thanks for this tip. I’ve lived in three states. I’ll check them. I didn’t know about this!
