i cannot refrain from commenting

.. Peter Marks is a despicable human being who exemplified wilful blindness and unquestioning allegiance to his pharmaceutical overlords

news of his departure earlier today lifted one of the great Covid weights from me

at least he had enough intelligence to jump before being pushed for his misinformation and lies

.. but we are waiting for him .. in the water

As I said, I reckon your Citizen Petition made him sweat 😓

Very good Julian. He always comes across to me like Igor in a scary science movie.

The use of the word "misinformation", particularly by a health professional, is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Similar to the smears "antivaxxer", "fascist", et al.

A secondary school science student should understand that science is a process and not a consensus.

Marks parked his scientific acumen at the front door and deserves opprobrium for his ill-informed views.

Reminds me of this story a while back… “FDA chief spruiks misinformation while vowing to fight misinformation” https://blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/fda-chief-spruiks-misinformation?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Peter Marks is either a sociopathic liar, a massive incompetent, beclouded in ideological perplexity. I suspect the former. His protests are no more than virtue-signaling. His claims of innocence and victimization are the hallmarks of sociopathic behavior. He will be an excellent match for the pharmaceutical industry.

Maryanne, do you sleep at all? I’m an awfully early riser unfortunately. At 4:00 a.m this morning I looked at X and saw Marks had “resigned”. Then I go to substack and lo and behold you’ve already been on top of the story but with meat on the bones. I can’t help but feel a bit of optimism about how aspects of this sordid tale are beginning to unravel.

I wonder how the shots for a “novel” virus came to market that rapidly. Does pharma play a role in this disaster? Would Marks push the shots to go to market because of his genuine concern for the public? Does he have that kind of empathy? I also deduce Biden wanted it out quickly for his own political advantage. Did Biden listen to the likes of Krause and Grubber about the rush to get the shots out? There are so many people involved it’s hard to sort it out but somebody dreamt up the narrative “safe and effective, follow the science,” which we now know was a horrendous lie. And the 38 page pfizer document on reported side effects dated February 2021, 2 months before I got the life changing pfizer, was also hidden, no informed consent. Pfizer wanted it hidden for something like 75 years. More and more useful information is leaking out, I hope all of the truth, including lab leak will surface.

Haha, it’s the time zone difference…. I saw it this morning as soon as the news broke and took the afternoon to research and write the article.

I think with persistence and the help of legal disclosures the truth will slowly be revealed. 🤞

Who thinks this will be another revolving door like Skerritt TGA boss headed for big pharma lobby group. No doubt Peter Marks has doors opening to big pharma job

Apparently, RFK wants to put an end to this revolving door. A 5 year wait. We will see.

Down with Marksism! Peter is out.

Another great piece Maryanne. Thank you. It is so fascinating what happens to people when self importance becomes laced with alarming superiority. They can become so intoxicated on their own fumes they fail to notice the stench of their rotting ethics and moral responsibility. They see themselves as white knights with no attention at all on the causation of disease, desperate to be hailed as the glorious rescuers. People like Marks, who start out as good and decent people, need to be inoculated against the ravages of power, so that they may remain true to their original calling to serve humanity.

Upon hearing the great news about Peter Marks my first thought was about Brianne Dressen and the Covid vaccine injury organization she co-founded: React19.

The following two excerpts are from page 164 of Caroline Pover’s book, Worth a Shot?

Brianne Dressen’s Story: Secrets of the Clinical Trial Participant Who Inspired a Global Movement

The injured advocates spent much of 2022 relentlessly but respectfully emailing the people at the top of the FDA: Robert Califf, Janet Woodcock, Peter Marks, CDC’s newly appointed Rochelle Walensky, Jay Butler, Daniel Jernigan. They were all made aware of the challenges the vaccine-injured were facing in having their conditions recognized or researched. They were clearly told of the obstacles that were being placed in the way of recovery for people whose lives had been destroyed.

The officials often responded, and their responses didn’t deny what was happening to this determined and increasingly desperate group of concerned citizens. Peter Marks often shared his own perspective…

“Nobody is denying adverse events can occur.”

“Nobody is denying the symptoms of what’s going on here.”

“No-one is denying there are [sic] vaccine injury here. Nobody is denying that.”

“No-one is denying there are reports of neuropathy or potential of vaccine injury here.”

“Nobody is saying they’re not real.”

“We have never said you guys don’t exist.”

Bri’s [Brianne Dressen] response to Dr. Marks expressed the frustration felt by all the injured. “We know we exist. We know you know that we exist. But the public doesn’t think that you guys know we exist.”

The FDA seemed interested in gathering information, but not so interested in doing anything with that information. It was so simple. Just tell the public that you know about us!

But the FDA stayed publicly silent, all the while maintaining private communication with the Covid vaccine-injured.

My second thought occurred as I read his repulsive resignation letter which was deceptively addressed to Dr. Brenner; it should have said: “Dear Big Pharma:”

Yes, I have some sources who told me about their conversations with Peter Marks about vaccines injuries (including researchers who looked at the data)…. Marks acknowledges it to their face, and then swiftly ignores it.

What is it about the mentality of public health that is so willfully blind to their profession's damage to the health of the public? The human misery caused by their massive “medical dystopia” during COVID was inhuman and they do not care. They think they are above any questioning. Several nations and states have held hearing on their region’s response and, to my knowledge, not one of the hearings has found any scientific basis for any of public health’s mitigation measures. And not one public health agency participated in the hearings, because they are the ones under investigation. The Scottish hearing stated plainly the pandemic shows that people do not have human rights. Public health views citizens as their test subjects for experiments just like Anthony Fauci’s animal experiments. Justice demands accountability from public health.

I, too, wonder about the wilful blindness of people like Peter Marks and Fauci—is it evil, stupidity, greed, or sociopathy? Most likely, it’s a mix of them all.

There are many national people worthy of opprobrium, but almost every state has its own share of tyrants. Georgia and Florida had leaders who quickly saw the tyranny and changed course. The supposed red state of Alabama had leaders, full of hubris and arrogance, unwilling to depart from the narrative. The SHO on December 23, 2022, posted on social media the recommendation of “having a small outdoor dinner and gift exchange” with the outside temperature of 3 degrees Fahrenheit in the northern part of the state and well below freezing in the rest of the state. 30 months into the pandemic and he still could not stop to think how stupid his recommendation sounded. In the fall of 2024, he was preaching on the importance of trust and transparency. The feckless state legislature has done nothing to hold him accountable. Dr. Demasi, if you want to do a case study in abject failure of public health, I have more information about Alabama.

Your work is so valuable and appreciated. Thank you deeply for documenting the facts so well. Your article inspired me to support your excellent statements with this summary:

FDA’s “top vaccine chief” expressed resentment about being pushed out. Interesting. What's the context? 10 essential facts that offer context for the March 2025 ouster.

On a related note, I recently published curations to support those who are explaining why we need to break up the corruption at "regulatory" agencies:

FDA: What it says it does vs. what it actually does.
