Simona Zompì<p>I understand and support Dr. Peter Marks’ decision to resign from the <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/FDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FDA</span></a> and at the same time I’m deeply saddened as he has been supporting the advancement of novel cell and gene therapies I have been directly working on. I have been admiring his leadership, heard him speaking at many conferences and I am even more admirative now that he came forward saying that Kennedy Jr’s stance on <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vaccines</span></a> is irresponsible and a danger to <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publichealth</span></a>. Thank you Dr. Marks</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/health/fda-vaccines-rfk-jr-peter-marks.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/2025/03/28/health/</span><span class="invisible">fda-vaccines-rfk-jr-peter-marks.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare</span></a></p>
