Prime Minister of #Slovakia #Robert_Fico said that during a phone call on tariffs with #Ursula_von_der_Leyen, she called him "a complete idiot."

Top F.D.A. Vaccine Official Resigns, Citing Kennedy’s ‘Misinformation and Lies’
The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official,
Dr. #Peter #Marks, 
abruptly resigned Friday,
saying in a searing letter that Health Secretary
#Robert F. #Kennedy #Jr.’s aggressive stance on vaccines was
irresponsible and posed a danger to the public.
“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary,
but rather 
he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,”
Dr. Marks wrote to #Sara #Brenner,
the agency’s acting commissioner.
Dr. Marks resigned under pressure,
according to a person familiar with the matter who said an official with the Department of Health and Human Services told Dr. Marks on Friday that
he could either resign or be fired.
Hours earlier in West Virginia, 
Mr. Kennedy asserted that Covid did not kill healthy people,
contrary to research showing that
30 percent of those who died early in the pandemic did not have underlying conditions.
Mr. Kennedy has also extolled the value of vitamin A as a treatment during a major measles outbreak in Texas,
while downplaying the value of #vaccines.
On Thursday, he announced that he was creating a new
office to study
"vaccine injuries".
