Oh waaah, a bureaucrat is upset.The top F.D.A. vaccine official resigns, citing Kennedy’s ‘misinformation and lies.’
The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, resigned under pressure Friday and said that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s aggressive stance on vaccines was irresponsible and posed a danger to the public.
“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,” Dr. Marks wrote to Sara Brenner, the agency’s acting commissioner. He reiterated the sentiments in an interview, saying: “This man doesn’t care about the truth. He cares about what is making him followers.”

I can't believe this hasn't happened more often. Though a lot of the officials who would have resigned were purged before they could. Still, I thought some appointed trumpers would quit over the inhumane end of aid to poor countries around the world which will result in thousands of unnecessary deaths.
Good.
