RFK Jr. Is a loon when it comes to vaccines, and the catastrophe that is the Covid19 vaccine effort has just solidified his opinions. The reality is that there many, safe, effective, lifesaving vaccines available, and the experience with these in the 20th century is a wonderful example of the power of science. Polio, Small Pox, Measles, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whooping Cough) and several others are a successful testament to the West's public health and scientific efforts.
But as usual, hubris, graft, self-aggrandizement and government overreach took that wonderful success and made it a problem. The attitude seemed to be, if several vaccines are good, then a dozen are even better!
HPV? Why? Protecting children from a sexually transmitted disease? Chicken Pox? Why? Natural immunity is better, and the disease itself is mild. And let's accelerate the time frame for these vaccines, so babies are bombarded with vaccine after vaccine, without a solid understanding of how their immune systems will respond.
And if traditional vaccine development takes years, but we have a new and mostly untested way to create vaccines quickly, then why the hell not!
Covid19 was the perfect opportunity for the ultimate in medical and government hubris. Big Pharma had the technology to create a vaccine very quickly, and government had the jackbooted thugs of its enforcement arms to mandate its use. Never mind that it was a crappy vaccine, didn't really protect people from contracting the disease, didn't limit its spread very much, and had poorly understood side effects.
But none of that mattered, and the evil cabal of Pharma and government ran roughshod over our rights, and absolutely destroyed the science of vaccines in the process. In doing so they took a society that was mostly comfortable with vaccinations, and convinced them that government and Pharma were lying through their teeth, and absolutely could not be trusted with anything... including the vaccines that have been demonstrated to work.
But back to RFK Jr.'s lunacy. It now makes more sense to America, because even if he is mostly wrong about traditional vaccines (they don't cause autism), there is a monstrous example of exactly what he has been saying for years: the Covid19 catastrophe.
Sadly, our compliant media will not tell the truth about Peter Marks, who is one of the prime players in the ridiculously fast rollout of the Covid19 vaccine and the subsequent mandates for its use. He is a fascist: comfortable with government forcing any manner of medical treatment on pain of loss of employment and, in a few cases, death.
Good on Ya RFK Jr. for dumping this arrogant, superior, freedom-crushing fascist!
Top FDA vaccine official Peter Marks resigns in opposition to RFK Jr.
The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine regulator Peter Marks has resigned, citing Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “misinformation and lies” around immunization, according to a resignation letter obtained by CNBC.
For nearly 10 years, Marks led the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, a post that included evaluating Covid-19 vaccines and establishing guidelines for emerging treatments like cell and gene therapies. A key figure at the FDA, biopharma industry insiders were closely watching Marks amid the transition.
The Wall Street Journal first reported Marks’s resignation, saying an official of the Department of Health and Human Services gave Marks the chance to resign or be fired. Marks, the FDA, and the Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Wenstrup Investigates FDA's Rushed Approval of the COVID-19 Vaccine
FDA Director Dr. Peter Marks testified that the FDA’s approval of the COVID-19 vaccine may have been rushed in order to meet arbitrary mandate policies set forth by the Biden Administration. Previous documents uncovered by the Select Subcommittee revealed that scientists warned Dr. Marks and other FDA officials on numerous occasions about the dangers of rushing the COVID-19 vaccine approval process. The FDA seemingly disregarded the warnings, dismissed the scientists who brought forward the concerns, and went forward with the accelerated approval process. The day after approval, the Biden Administration announced its first COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
