DP. Peter Marx is a type of health official who is used to the Democrats and the Republicans. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has served for 13 years, most of whom were director of the Biology and Research Assessment Center. There, Marx supervised the critical process of reviewing and agreing vaccines-such as Covid-19-biological treatments, including genes and cells based.
Marx obtained confidence and respect from academic and industrial scholars as well as his focus on the most powerful evidence in assessing new treatments, and his willingness to support new technologies and curricula.
But it did not last long in the new Trump administration. On March 28, Marx resigned after he said that he was pressured by the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services (HHS) to similar to doubts about the safety, effectiveness or launch of vaccines. HHS says that his team also asked to deliver sensitive health information from the FDA database with US centers to control diseases and prevent them (CDC) to track negative reactions to vaccines. You are concerned about how the data is used, rejects and resigned signs. (HHS did not immediately respond to a request to comment on this story.)
Now, he warns of a fundamental change in HHS and FDA – one is believed to be already proves that it is very dangerous. He told Time on April 8: “What I saw in the agency was an increasing tone to combat the eoile,” he told Time on April 8.
Clash about vaccines
Since Robert F. has been appointed. Kennedy Junior, who has long been skeptical of the vaccine, for the president of HHS, its agency Public service ads supporting the application have been removed Made by the Center for Disease Control, and The deadline To determine whether the Covid-19 vaccine should be approved by Novavax.
Marx, who is aware of Kennedy’s position in the vaccines, began in November to formulate “a group of things we can do to try to address some of the problems” facing the Anti -Qazi groups. “I was trying to communicate with” I am ready to meet you in the middle of the road, “says Marx.
He reached a four -point proposal on how to manage food and drugs (FDA). First, the agency will reassess how vaccines are classified. “Putting signs on the vaccine has become very messy decades,” he says. “The patient’s information is not as clear as it can be. This is a fact, and a legitimate critic. We will consider ways to clean stickers and make them more transparent.”
The FDA will also hold listening meetings to hear people about their concerns about the ingredients that enter vaccines – such as Thimosal, which was removed from the MMR (measles) and other childhood vaccines in 2001 but is still used in some influenza bullets – with the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. The FDA (FDA) has already used this practice while reviewing any main drug and vaccine, and inviting the public to provide comments to the independent experts committee before the group votes on approving the product.

Marx offered to ask the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ask the National Academy of Medicine – a non -profit and independent group that evaluates scientific questions to inform politics and improve Americans’ health – to study any Kennedy’s concerns about vaccine, such as the role of assistants, which are components to enhance the immune response to the body.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggested reviewing the current system to report side effects or negative events related to vaccines, so that the process of evaluating it and determining whether it is reasonably linked to the vaccines is more transparent.
But Marx says he did not receive any response or reactions to these proposals before leaving the organization. Dr. Marti Macari, nominated by President Trump, was sworn in as a new director of the FDA (FDA Fall off At the departure of Marx shortly after he took office.
Measles repercussions
The change in the tone coincided with the best American health agencies with the constant outbring of measles, which killed two children and caused Hundreds of infection. “I felt very annoyed when I heard about the death of the second measles in a child who used profanity with a reporter without realizing it,” says Marx. “Anyone knows me knows that this is something I have never done. I was very upset, and I was still upset, because this is unnecessary.”
As head of the Food and Drug Administration Department (FDA) responsible for reviewing the data provided by vaccine makers to agree to their vaccines, the signs are repeated that data that supports the safety and effectiveness of the measles vaccine is clear and strong. “The measles vaccine is one of the safest and most effective vaccines with us,” he says. “Unlike other vaccines, which may be able to argue with whether or not people should take it, the measles vaccine that gave children save lives. It saves lives because a child in every 1,000 children die from measles. The effects.”
However, Kennedy is said Eye of the critic vaccine David Gere, whose research was photographed on vaccines and autism by both judges and medical professionals, to study data about the safety of the MMR vaccine and an autism link – although scientists say that any link has been exposed for decades.
