Breaking News: Top FDA Vaccine Official Resigns Amidst Controversy

A leading official at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stepped down from their position, reportedly due to disagreements over the agency’s handling of information. Dr. Peter Marks, formerly a top vaccine authority at the FDA, abruptly resigned just weeks after Robert F. Kennedy, a known anti-vaccine activist, assumed a high-ranking role within Health and Human Services.

Sources familiar with the situation indicate to NBC News that Dr. Marks’ departure was not voluntary. According to his resignation letter, Dr. Marks stated, “It has become evident that truth and transparency are not valued by the Secretary, who instead desires unquestioning agreement with his falsehoods and misinformation.”

Yamiche Alcindor of NBC News initially reported this story on Saturday TODAY, March 29, 2025.
