The FDA’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, abruptly resigned weeks after anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy took over as the head of Health and Humans Services. A person familiar with the matter tells NBC News that Marks was forced out of his position. In his resignation letter Marks wrote, “It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secret, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his lies and misinformation.” NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor reports for Saturday TODAY.
