The Food and Drug Administration's top vaccine official until late-March met online several times with a COVID-19 vaccine injury group's leader, who, opposing the vaccines in part, begged him to no avail to take severe adverse events such as paresthesia as a precursor to neuropathy seriously and to urge doctors to treat them as such rather than write them off as "anxiety," secret recordings suggest.
The Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) released the videos, compiled on "The Real Peter Marks" website, with other documentary evidence from Marks' leadership of the COVID response starting with Operation Warp Speed, at the National Press Club in Washington on Tuesday.
They also include a virtual meeting between San Francisco intensive care unit doctor Patricia Lee, Marks and other FDA officials, who asked no questions after Lee said a patient's severe complications from vaccination at 22 weeks' pregnancy and related death prompted a "nervous breakdown" among nurses on her shift, requiring a psychiatrist's overnight visit.
ICAN CEO Del Bigtree shared pieces of Lee's Oct. 22, 2021, conversation with FDA officials, who allegedly ignored her pleas for vaccine-injured patients until she brought "legal pressure," on his show two weeks earlier with ICAN lawyer Aaron Siri and REACT19 founder Brianne Dressen, whose neurological injuries from the AstraZeneca vaccine trial were confirmed by the NIH.
