“It has become clear that #truth & #transparency are not desired by the secretary [#RFKJr], but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his #misinformation & #lies,” Dr. Marks wrote to Sara Brenner, the #FDA’s acting commissioner.

Hours earlier in WV, RFKJr asserted that #Covid did not kill healthy people, contrary to research showing that 30% of those who died early in the #pandemic did not have underlying conditions.

The #Trump admin on Fri pushed out Peter Marks, the nation’s top #vaccine regulator & an architect of the US program to rapidly develop #coronavirus #vaccines, a move that comes as #HHS Secy #RFKJr continues his *overhaul* [destruction] of the nation’s #health & #science agencies amid a worsening #US outbreak of #measles.

Marks, who joined the FDA in 2012 & had overseen its Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research since 2016, was offered the choice to resign or be fired….

He opted to resign.

The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

When I was younger, after eating a meal, I'd always feel the urge to go on a walk, I'd feel so energetic. All the adults called me weird while groaning about how full they were and how they couldn't wait to sit down or take a nap. Turns out I wasn't weird, and the sudden energy was just my body providing for me, rewarding me for eating.

lemmy.worldGeorgia Woman Arrested After Disposing of Miscarriage - Police are treating the disposal of a fatal miscarriage as abandonment of a dead body - Lemmy.World>Selena Maria Chandler-Scott, 24, was found unconscious and bleeding by EMS after miscarrying. Police later found the remnants of her fetus in a bag in a dumpster nearby, after a witness reported seeing her dispose of the bag. > >Chandler-Scott was arrested and charged with concealing the death of another person, and one count of throwing away or abandonment of a dead body. Tifton Police said in a press release the fetus died as a result of a miscarriage, not an abortion. She was transferred to Tift Regional Medical Center for treatment after being found, and was not immediately charged. > >It’s unclear what Chandler-Scott should have done to avoid charges in this case. Her arrest is another example of the rights of a fetus taking precedence over the rights of women in red states. Vagueness in the language of Republican abortion bans has led women to avoid going to the hospital for care of miscarriages. Any intervention to save the women’s life could be interpreted as an illegal abortion, a crime which carries a sentence of up to ten years.
