Doc you slayed this guy! He deserved every word. I’d add that Francis Collins and Peter Daszak also did not receive pardons from sleepy Joe or whatever cabal was running our country during his regime. It confounds me how so many in DC don’t find themselves behind bars and honestly maybe if more did we might have more honesty and transparency. We can all dream.
At the very least any Doctor knowingly participating in the loss of health, due to Covid mRNA DNA corruption/contamination, to the public at large, ie. their patients, should have their medical licenses revoked/stripped and they should Never be able to practice in ANY capacity in the medical field again. That to include the Pharma industry.
With Trump still touting the "great OWS" and the subject being disallowed in his presence... I don't foresee anything happening there.
It's my one and only disappointment in Trump this go around. So far. And it's sad, not only because the shot has harmed people, but because he could still condemn the vaccine fraud, and false reports to get it on the market, while remaining proud of the overall OWS program. The overall program, had it been handled by good people and not the corrupt, was truly amazing and many parts of it exemplary. One example, I know ventilators were exactly the wrong treatment for Covid - but - having various manufacturers stop what they were making and begin making ventilators for a time and get those out to the nation in record time is awesome. Had it been a different disease it could've been life saving. There are many other things in the program laudable.... but it's hard to think past the fraud, lies, withholding of alternative treatments, etc etc, to remember the good OWS included.
Trump was mislead too. He handled the hysteria great. My wife is a nurse for 30 years now and in the beginning it was scary as nobody knew a damn thing but we know now it was just a bad case of the flu that was much more lethal to those with diabetes and other “co-mortbitities” the most. The censoring was criminal and there should be cells waiting for those that produced the fraud upon us.
"Furthermore, I remain convinced that Dr. Peter Marks was not then and remains unqualified by training and background to understand the nature and flaws in the non-clinical data submitted by Pfizer in support of this product."
The word "not" is causing tangle and trouble above.

Delete: "was not then and remains..."
And substitute: "was at that time and remains..."
Otherwise, you are stating that "Dr Marks was not then [unqualified]" --- in other words, at that time he was qualified and now remains unqualified, which of course is gibberish.
(Avoid double negatives. They're much more trouble than they're worth, and they lend an indolent air of British upper-class pretentiousness best avoided.)
Knew it was bad, but did not know the details of this woefully inadequate bureaucrat. Shamefully, through their own actions, far too many doctors have fallen from their prior lofty status - Covid was a frightfully inept time. Thank you, Dr. Malone, for speaking out during this debacle and now afterward. Trust is a terrible thing to lose.
The FDA launched a crazy take down of Ivermectin, which could have been used widely treatment and prophylaxis against COVID-19 and probably could have saved over a million Americans who ultimately died from or with COVID. This information was available to the FDA and NIH early in the pandemic. Yet, they squashed the info in the name of protecting Big Pharma profits. Everyone involved in that war on Ivermectin should face steeper penalties than just being asked to resign. Doctors had their licenses revoked, suspended, or threatened because they were simply trying to save lives. The entire nation wasted trillions of dollars "fighting COVID" with useless guidelines, treatment regimens and vaccines. People lost their jobs for refusing the vaccines that Peter Marks authorized over the objection of other scientists. This guy should be ecstatic that he was merely asked to resign.
Well written and appreciate the insight. For myself as a layperson/non-medical/non-scientist...I do wonder...why is our gov so involved in big pharma and medical research anyway??? So RFK is cutting 25% of workforce (good news), but do we still need 60,000 federal employees for the Dept of Health??? There is no way this is efficient or necessary. Do I need to be a brain surgeon to understand whether or not I should take shots???? I'm a mechanical engineer background...so do I expect all those who drive a car to understand what the piston speeds are and what the gear ratios are on first vs overdrive at various speeds? None of us need to know that to buy and drive a car...that's why IMHO, I simply want FREEDOM OF SPEECH/THOUGHT....and....FREEDOM OF CHOICE on my medical...that way all the scientists (public and private sector) can argue over everything and it will not impact me as much. They try to play God too much in my opinion and have lost their way...can no longer throttle themselves back. Mother nature is still the best medicine...I understand we do need a medical industry...however it is so corrupted and broken that one needs to be extremely vigilant on seeking medical care. God Bless us all.
In a hellishly corrupt "health" bureaucracy, perhaps the most essential credential is the ability to remorselessly cling to and promulgate hellish, lethal, lucrative lies. If the price of gaining the world is losing their own souls, well then, they call that a deal.
Thanks for shedding light on Dr Marks shoddy career. The bigger problem is that he has zero insight into all the harm he has caused. Dr Fauci is another case study of a health bureaucrat with a very deficient moral compass. Yet, these bastards are eulogized by a feckless big media. Shocking but true.
You can't help but wonder that it took them a long time to fill his job initially because they could not find anyone else who would "take" it! He was their only and LAST choice. OR,
His total lack of knowledge and expertise was perfect for them to manipulate.
The grating edge is his failure to open his eyes and mind and seek legitimate expertise for guidance. Or was it the scent of bucks and glory that shut down his senses?
Thank you Dr. Malone for your analysis on this "resignation". When I first read of Marks resignation it peaked my interest. I am hopeful that we are moving to a place where these mRNA vaccines will be removed from the market. The CDC continues to recommend theses dangerous vaccines for babies... babies...
With all the corruption across our entire government I love this line in Mark’s resignation letter, “due to the unwavering commitment of public servants at FDA and elsewhere across the government”. What a line of BS. It seems to me that this entire government has no care for the public whatsoever. Public service to the bureaucrats means how much money and benefits can I scum off the stupid fu- -ing American dumb asses. It has zero to due with serving the public.
Today was the perfect example of how public servants serve themselves. There was supposed to be two house votes today one on the Save Act which would federalize proof of citizenship for all voters registering to vote. The other bill was Meadows Cottons bill that would prevent district judges from placing nationwide injunctions on federal policy changes. Well republican Anna Paulina Luna with her tax payed babysitter holding her child held up these two imperative votes because she wants to go home for three month and be able to place proxy votes from home. So the whole house who only work Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays took the rest of the week off, nice life huh!! This is the selfishness of all of these jokers who call themselves public servants. How is Anna Paulina Luna’s want for more benefits considered public service. I’m completely disgusted with these selfish pigs that hate all of us. She should resign and go get a real job. She ran for this seat, did she not? Do you know the house takes two weeks off in April. What a fricken life. Can you say term limits?? I don’t get free babysitters, I don’t get free healthcare, I don’t get free lunches, I don’t get free plane rides, I don’t get free transportation to work, I don’t get free housing, I don’t get a free office, I don’t work 3 days a week, I don’t get months at a time off, I don’t get corporate money flowing into my bank account to influence decisions I make, I can’t do insider trading. My God we need to get rid of these scumbags. J.Goodrich
"All based on hype and flawed modeling indicating a 3.4 % case fatality rate (CFR) for SARS-CoV-2 infection"
You know Doc Malone, I think I really just understood this statement for the first time.
considering all the false positives and the fact the PCR test was a tool to create MSM charts showing "cases" rising on hockey stick curves, I get it now.
Show millions of cases and multiply by 0.034. . . lots of dead folks to drum up the FEAR.
10^6 cases x .034 = 34,000 corpses / million. . . and their were many millions of "cases".
Have to off for chores, but have fully read your essay.
It couldnt be more timely or on point. The MSM are full hounds after what they claim RFK Jr (as a fox) to be. They claim him to be ripping out the hearts of expertise at HHS.
Your experiences with Dr Marks and as you so fully illustrate here, lead to other conclusions.
Am hoping your review here will have very wide audience! It will be taking a while to set up the reorganization and do such hiring as needed. Then to get the new operations underway.
Reporting on the actual situation that existed will help provide breathing room!
Off topic, but noteworthy: Val Kilmer passed away yesterday.
I first saw him in "Real Genius," when I was a young college student. He was one of those hip, gifted, up-and-coming actors who might have lived forever. I know I'm getting older when I see that generation of talent with lines on their faces and grey in their hair.
But one of the great western acting performances in memory was his role as Doc Holliday in Tombstone. I consider the movie to have been at risk for being another ordinary, formulaic western, but for the brilliant scenes with Kilmer and Kurt Russell.
Here, like Kilmer, Holliday approached his end. And every single time I watch this scene, I am so moved by the depiction of friendship and loyalty.
Re salary of gov employees, sci may differ but yes gov employees were low scale until the unions were allowed but the last comparison I saw was the fed gov pays 30% more than private sector for comparable work which is one reason to appreciate DOGE since we are learning a sizeable number are NOT doing comparable work
I was ever horrified at how much more we received than the private sector folks I knew. But on the subject Fed. Gov. ees were/still are hard to fire and they get meaningful extra benefits in health coverage, leave, educational opportunities, etc. Salaries aren't the whole story Marks likely had benefits beyond his salary. Then there's his resume for a pharma job.
Go along to get along is the basic theme. When they hide the medical data from themselves that tells the truth about how harmful the injections are speaks volumes of what is wrong at NIH
I was going to compliment Dr. Peter Marks for his adeptness in mastering bureaucrat-ese, until running headlong into this doozy, "However, it has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies." That’s not in the manual, Dr. Marks. Sounds kind of paranoid. Please get back to happy-speak, where you belong.
Books that tell people how to write resume's specifically say to avoid the words, "I was involved in..." It's a red flag, saying, as Dr. Malone explains, you were part of team that worked on something, but you personally didn't accomplish anything of note.
Doc you slayed this guy! He deserved every word. I’d add that Francis Collins and Peter Daszak also did not receive pardons from sleepy Joe or whatever cabal was running our country during his regime. It confounds me how so many in DC don’t find themselves behind bars and honestly maybe if more did we might have more honesty and transparency. We can all dream.
Regardless of the pardons that are mostly meaningless, having no basis since they have no charges, sentences, or description of crimes, . . .
someday, it will be just great to see each one in prison.

04/04/25: I second the motion. Dr. Malone rules!
Say, let's improve things while we're here.

FDA / HHS should get axed like dept of Education from my point of view.
also an M.E.
Well said!!!

Friday was a great day!! Good riddance to “Dr.” Marks!!
Amen...

And no practical experience in medicine of science

James: Yes. An admirable piece of work in an equally admirable career!
James, Tombstone was on late the day before he died.
It was late so I just recorded it. I got to see it last night.
I totally agree 👍 with you. I was also touched by the depiction of their deep sense of of friendship and loyalty.
