Who is the ‘real’ Peter Marks, the FDA’s former top vaccine pusher? [Article from 10/5/25]

A FORMER top US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) vaccine official ignored evidence that Covid-19 vaccines caused serious injuries, and dismissed the pleas of people injured by the vaccines, all while reassuring the public the shots were safe, documents published today on TheRealPeterMarks.com website reveal.

The website hosts public statements by Peter Marks, MD, PhD, recordings of his calls with vaccine-injured individuals, transcripts and previously unreleased FDA records.

Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), React19 and Follow the Silenced — organizations that advocate for the vaccine-injured — obtained the documents through Freedom of Information Act requests and other legal work.

Dr Danice Hertz, a retired gastroenterologist injured by the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, said she hopes the website reveals the side of Marks that the media ignores. Hertz said:

‘We want to set the record straight about Marks. The media is misinformed about him and has falsely represented him as a hero. In my opinion, he is far from a hero. He is a dishonest, corrupt man whose allegiance has been to the vaccine manufacturers and not to the safety of the people.’

On March 28, Marks resigned as director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) under pressure from his new boss, US Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

He has since made several appearances on mainstream media, defending his record and attacking Kennedy.

React19 co-chair Dr Joel Wallskog, a Wisconsin orthopaedic surgeon injured by the Covid-19 vaccines, accused Marks of lying during media interviews.

‘He is a liar and fearful of the truth getting out,’ Wallskog said. ‘The best defence is a good offense.’

Wallskog and Brianne Dressen, a vaccine-injury victim and co-chair of React19, said that the media failed to ask the former FDA executive key questions.

Wallskog said he wants to know why Marks ‘refused’ to give Kennedy the vaccine injury data he requested. Dressen said she wants to ask Marks ‘about the countless lives negatively impacted by the covid vaccines.’

‘We brought the truth front and centre to Marks, and he refused to see it,’ Dressen said. ‘His decisions not to disclose highly reported injuries had devastating impacts on the medical community’s ability to recognize and treat injuries.’ As a result, she said, ‘countless lives’ were lost and people were ‘permanently harmed’.

Dressen said Marks’ ‘real tagline is “profits over people”.’

In an April 13 interview on CBS’ ‘Face the Nation’, Marks told host Margaret Brennan, ‘You’re talking to the person who came up with Operation Warp Speed.’

Operation Warp Speed was the Government’s public-private partnership responsible for facilitating and accelerating the development, manufacture and distribution of Covid-19 vaccines. As the person responsible for that operation, Marks would have been privy to warning signs on the possible dangers of the new Covid-19 vaccine.

Documents on TheRealPeterMarks.com site reveal that Marks knew about adverse events following vaccinations as early as October 2020, less than two months before the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines received emergency use authorization (EUA).

Dressen said she was ‘astonished’ that Marks ignored those warning signs and instead promoted the Government’s ‘safe and effective’ narrative.

‘He knew very well that there were serious problems with the Covid vaccines,’ Dressen said. ‘What astonished me was how he can say it with such resolve.’

The documents posted on TheRealPeterMarks.com show that Marks ignored reports and studies on Covid-19 vaccine injuries sustained by children, and that he claimed such reports were ‘sensationalized’.

For example:

• During a call in May 2022 with vaccine-injury victims, Marks suggested that child deaths following Covid-19 vaccination must be reported because the vaccines are under EUA. Yet, during a 2021 call with FDA stakeholders, Marks said child deaths post-vaccination are ‘very sensationalized’ and were unrelated to the vaccines.
• On January 3, 2022, a letter from the Siri & Glimstad law firm warned Marks about adverse events in vaccinated children. Yet that day, the FDA extended the EUA for Pfizer’s Covid-19 booster to children ages 12 to 15.
• ICAN filed a citizen petition in May 2022, urging Marks to revoke the EUA for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for children. A month later, the FDA extended the EUA to children as young as 6 months — even though Marks responded to the petition that day, acknowledging adverse events in children.
• The FDA authorized a fourth dose of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines for some groups of people, including immunocompromised children ages 12 and up, four days after the Journal of Pediatrics published a study of children who developed myopericarditis following Covid-19 vaccination.

Dressen called out Marks for his handling of a prominent case of childhood vaccine injury involving Maddie de Garay, a 16-year-old who was seriously injured by the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in January 2021.
