Pharma Stocks tumbled after Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the agency within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) responsible for authorizing vaccines, resigned under pressure from his new boss, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“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,” an HHS official said in a statement.  Source

The Washington Post reported a sweeping purge of agencies that oversee government health programs. Top officials were put on administrative leave or offered reassignment to the Indian Health Service. (Indians should protest)

Democratic attorneys general and governors have filed a lawsuit against HHS and the HHS Secretary for the department’s sudden rollback of $12 billion in public health funding.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is over, and HHS will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a non-existent pandemic that Americans moved on from years ago. HHS is prioritizing funding projects that will deliver on President Trump’s mandate to address our chronic disease epidemic and Make America Healthy Again,” the US Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement Wednesday.  Source

The vaccine cabal is also shouting that ‘the sky is falling’ due to HHS canceling hundreds of vaccine grants.

A Postmortem on Peter Marks’ FDA Legacy: False Positives Killed Untold Numbers of People — and Marks Was Warned

We saw his decisions. We raised concerns, issued warnings, and watched them go unheeded. Marks answered not to science, but to those who saw objectivity as optional. The tone-deafness remains obvious.

 

Dr. Peter Marks, former director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), resigned on March 28, 2025, with an overly dramatic letter (see below) citing conflicts with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine misinformation. His tenure was marked by significant controversies, particularly concerning the approval and oversight of COVID-19 diagnostics and vaccines.

The PCR Catastrophe: False Positives, Fear, and Fatal Protocols

Under Dr. Marks’ leadership, the FDA authorized the widespread use of RT-PCR tests for COVID-19 diagnosis. Concerns arose regarding their specificity and the potential for false-positive results, especially in low-prevalence settings.​ Marks oversaw the deployment of high-cycle RT-PCR testing without adequate controls or interpretive guidance.

To this day, the public largely confuses False Positive Rate (FPR) with False Discovery Rate (FDR)—a distinction crucial to understanding the magnitude of harm. While the FPR is the proportion of truly negative tested samples that test positive (usually low), the FDR is the proportion of positive results that are false. In low-prevalence settings, even a highly specific test with low FPR can yield an FDR exceeding 50%, meaning that most positive test results are wrong.

And that’s exactly what happened.

Bulletpoint summary:

  • Marks was silent when Fauci selectively amplified HCQ results to give the predetermined outcome it was ineffective, permitting a distorted narrative that shut down scientific inquiry.
  • Under Marks, the FDA expedited approval of COVID shots despite studies showing waning immunity, breakthrough infections, negative efficacy, adverse events, and links to cancer, autoimmune disorders, and deadly kidney failure.
  • Under Marks, the FDA faced criticism for delays and redactions in releasing clinical trial data, and for the agency’s inconsistent messaging.
  • Despite failure to meet primary endpoints in phase 3 trials, under Marks, the FDA granted accelerated approval of other gene therapies.
  • In his resignation letter Marks conflates MMR data with broader vaccine safety claims which redirects and misleads the debate as not all vaccines have been studied for associations with neurodevelopmental outcomes.
  • Throughout Marks’ tenure, dissenting experts were continually sidelined.
  • Marks misled the public on Paxlovid and boosters and forced Gruber and Krause to resign when they blew the whistle on the Biden admin for insisting on the COVID booster before the agency even approved it.
  • Marks pushed unethical vaccine mandates.
