Two Senior FDA Officials Resign Over Disagreement with Biden White House on Covid Booster Shots
Two senior FDA officials resigned over a disagreement with the Biden White House on Covid booster shots.
Marion Gruber, director of the agency’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review, and her deputy director, Phil Krause, will leave in October and November, according to a statement to CNBC.
The two FDA officials were angry that the CDC and Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) was making decisions on the Covid boosters that fall under the responsibility of the FDA.
Gruber and Krause resigned after the Biden Admin decided to approve the Covid booster program without the FDA’s approval.
The first Covid booster shot will be available to the public the week of September 20.
