In his resignation letter, addressed to acting FDA Commissioner Sara Brenner, Marks wrote, “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,” referring to newly installed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
He continued, “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.”
In response to his resignation letter, an HHS spokesperson said, “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 [the] FDA under the strong leadership of Secretary Kennedy.”
Marks had served as the director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research since 2016, and had been working at the FDA since 2012. He played an important role in establishing Operation Warp Speed, the program designed to oversee the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, although he left shortly after its launch, instead focusing on his work as chief regulator of vaccines.
