  • The top US vaccine official resigned on Friday, citing the "misinformation and lies" he said were being peddled by the incoming health secretary.

The article from MSN discusses the resignation of Dr. Paul Offit, a prominent vaccine expert, from his role as a member of the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee. His decision to step down was influenced by the misinformation and lies propagated by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been vocal about his anti-vaccine stance. Kennedy, a nephew of President John F. Kennedy, has been criticized for spreading false claims about vaccines, including the debunked link between vaccines and autism.

His resignation highlights the ongoing tension between scientific consensus and the anti-vaccine movement, especially as these issues gain traction in political discourse.
