Top FDA Vaccine Official Resigns, Calls Out RFK Jr. for Spreading ‘Misinformation and Lies’
A senior vaccine official at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has resigned, citing frustrations with the spread of vaccine misinformation—particularly from high-profile figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The official, whose departure marks a significant shake-up within the agency, criticized RFK Jr. for what they described as the deliberate promotion of falsehoods that undermine public health efforts.
Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaccine activist and 2024 presidential candidate, has long been accused of spreading misleading claims about vaccine safety and efficacy. Public health experts warn that such rhetoric fuels vaccine hesitancy, leading to lower immunization rates and increased risks of disease outbreaks.
The resignation highlights growing tensions within the FDA and the broader medical community as officials struggle to combat misinformation while maintaining public trust in vaccines. The departing official emphasized the need for stronger policies to counteract false narratives and protect public health from the consequences of vaccine skepticism.
As the debate over vaccine safety continues, public health leaders are urging Americans to rely on scientific evidence rather than conspiracy theories when making healthcare decisions.
