During the 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden stated that he was wary of the vaccine because he believed Trump was putting pressure on FDA officials to approve the vaccine, bypassing safety protocols in the process.
Well, two high-ranking FDA officials just resigned and guess what they stated on their way out?
Much of the reason they were leaving was because of political pressure being applied by the Biden administration.
Sudden Departures
Marion Gruber, director of the Office of Vaccines Research & Review (OVRR), and Phil Krause, OVRR deputy director, have announced they will be leaving the FDA in October and November, respectfully.
The two of them together have more than four decades of service in the agency.
Why are they leaving?
Both have stated that CDC has been having far too much influence on decision-making that should lie with the FDA…
At today's @WHCOVIDResponse briefing, Jeff Zients addressed news of the retirements:
"@US_FDA has strong leadership in @DrWoodcockFDA and Dr Peter Marks at the @FDACBER, and their critical work continues"https://t.co/sIAFLO16fQ pic.twitter.com/lGRFCC76f1

This is a rather startling blow to the Biden administration, especially when you consider how hard the administration has been pushing booster shots as of late.
We are seemingly now getting decisions driven by politics rather than being backed by science.
That was the overwhelming message from this administration during the 2020 election cycle, but that has all been tossed out the door now.
Currently, only one vaccine has been fully approved by the FDA, yet booster shots are now being touted to get us through the expected winter surge.
The fact we have FDA officials now resigning over this should have everyone’s ears up.
