Two top vaccine regulators at the US Food and Drug Administration announced their resignations from the agency, an FDA spokesperson said Tuesday night.
According to a letter shared by the FDA with CNBC, Marion Gruber, the director of the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research & Review, has resigned from the agency, effective next month.
Deputy director Phil Krause has also quit the agency, effective in November.
According to a report by the biotechnology publication Endpoints News, Gruber and Krause resigned in protest of pressure they faced from the White House and the Centers for Disease Control in connection to approval for use of COVID vaccines.
In particular, the two were frustrated over pressure to clear the use of COVID booster shots, Endpoints News reported, citing a former senior FDA official.
“FDA is losing two giants who helped bring us many safe and effective vaccines over decades of public service,” former FDA acting chief scientist Luciana Borio tweeted.
“These two are the leaders for Biologic (vaccine) review in the US. They have a great team, but these two are the true leaders of CBER. A huge global loss if they both leave,” Former BARDA director Rick Bright wrote, weighing in on the news. “Dr. Gruber is much more than the Director. She is a global leader. Visionary mastermind behind global clinical regulatory science for flu, Ebola, Mers, Zika, Sars-cov-2, many others.”
The departures come after the Biden administration announced that booster shots could be available as early as the week of September 20th, despite the FDA not having yet completed its review ...

Since they had no objection to the Covid ‘vaccines’, I have to think this is good news. The FDA is thoroughly corrupt so we seem to be losing two ‘giants’ of corruption.
I’m sure that these resignations are just about minor issues, nothing important. I mean, why would bureaucrats throw away their careers for a serious point of legal and moral conflict?
After all the lies we have been told, this is so dishonest and sh*t laden, that I have no confidence in this corrupt FDA, regardless of why this happened. To hell with them all!
Now that they are not concerned about losing their jobs, maybe they’ll out the truth to some real interviewers Hey, Tucker, you wanna get on this?
Looks like a turf war with the CDC.
And the media are downplaying this, which would have been a five-alarm fire last year.
So tell me again how the vaccines are safe and there is no ulterior motives.
Wait, wut? A GatorTroll told me yesterday they didn’t quit for political reasons.
The wheels are slowly coming off.
Rochelle believes in Hope not data , this wingnut must GO
If we had a functioning media, there would be reporters crawling all over this, trying to interview these two.
Were they forced out? If so, who did that? What specifically made them decide to leave, and why now?
The only big media types who might even try to touch this will be the Fox opinion talking heads.
It’ll be gone in a single news cycle if not sooner.
All of our institutions have failed.
Slowly?
We are on greased skids...
Bet that’s not why they quit.
You could read the article and remove the mystery.

All employess had been given a deadline to show proof of Covid vaccination by the end of October 2021.
Now forced boosters!!
Ugh, I’m sorry you are dealing with this.
My son’s company was going to mandate vaccines but he stood his ground and refused. He and a handful of others were the only ones out of hundreds that stood up to them.
His reasoning is that he is young (mod 20s), has been working in the hospital setting, including covid wards, since the beginning, mostly unmasked, plus has been in confined spaces around covid positive coworkers. But he never got sick! He is convinced that his immune system is working.
First they gave him a hefty raise. He said thank you, but he did not back down.
Now they have reversed their position. I think this latest news about boosters was a big reason. Or maybe more employees said no. It’s not like they can just replace people, they do not have enough as it is. And my son has some niche skills and certifications that aren’t easy to find.
Wonder why they would run and jump overboard?
Not really.
It says : “ In particular, the two were frustrated over pressure to clear the use of COVID booster shots, Endpoints News reported, citing a former senior FDA official.”
They should be grilled over the details. Who pressured them, specifically. How? To do what, exactly.
This is all rumor and innuendo at this point, easy to sweep under the rug.
