Update. "Marks Says He Was Forced Out of #FDA for Trying to Protect #Vaccine Safety #Data"

"Shortly before he was forced to resign, the nation's top vaccine regulator says he refused to grant #HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s team unrestricted access to a tightly held vaccine safety database, fearing that the information might be manipulated or even deleted."

"The complaints come as the Trump administration is dismantling wide swaths of the federal government — including conducting mass layoffs at the FDA — and filling some key regulatory positions with industry-friendly voices. The new head of the FDA division that oversees baby formula is a corporate lawyer who previously defended Abbott against a lawsuit."

#FDA #Layoffs Could Raise #Drug Costs and Erode Food Safety No mission, no research, no science, no knowledge. #FDA is eviscerated. In many areas of the #FDA, no #employees remain to process payroll, to file #retirement or layoff paperwork and to help overseas #inspectors who are at risk of maxing out agency credit cards. Even the agency’s #library where researchers and experts relied on medical journal subscriptions that have now been canceled, has been shut down. archive.is/NBha8

#usa dergulating its #fda, after being one of the most permissive states for decades when it comes to the use of growth hormones and lack of regulations, and then complaining about #europe is using fake #science to “just be meanies” and not buy american crap protein, is right up there with “they’re eating the cats and the dogs”.

To quote a great american mind, “that’s the great thing about science - it’s true whether you believe it or not.”

“An estimated 3,000 people die each year, and 48 million are sickened from food-borne illnesses. The Trump admin’s cuts will affect the work of food safety agencies.”

Trump & RFK Jr’s MAHA mandate will sicken & kill people because they’re not actually making Americans healthy, they’re gutting HHS.

He helped write the policies that guided manufacturers, worked to close loopholes that threatened safety, and trained the FDA’s investigators to uncover sterility failures at manufacturing plants scattered across the globe.

And he was among the thousands of employees at the #FDA and other federal health agencies who were abruptly purged on April 1st by republicans.

No plan—not his *MAHA* agenda, not efficiency, nothing—can realistically explain cuts like these. Instead, the #MassFirings don’t seem to be a means to an end on the way to overhauling American #health. They are an end in themselves.

It’ll take months, if not years, to fully appreciate the effect that the cuts will have on America’s scientific enterprise.
