...Some of Loomer’s erstwhile political allies are starting to wonder if there might be a hidden hand behind some of her most influential denunciations.
Sommer says the firing in question involves last Tuesday’s ouster of Dr. Vinay Prasad as the head of a key treatment-approval division of the Food and Drug Administration. Prasad was a hero in Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s MAHA movement because of his criticism of pandemic measures. But Loomer accused Prasad of disloyalty to Trump — even claiming that Prasad had admitted to having a Trump voodoo doll.
Stat News reports Prasad resigned his position to avoid becoming “a distraction,” but ring-wing figures say Loomer’s attacks on Prasad came amid a high-profile struggle between Prasad and Sarepta, a Massachusetts-based drug manufacturer, over the company’s treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Sommer reports Prasad’s disapproval of the FDA’s decision to approve Sarepta’s drug, Elevidys, mounted after two patients taking Elevidys died of what appeared to be acute liver toxicity. The FDA then put Elevidys’s clinical trials on hold.
But shortly before Prasad resigned, Sommer reports the FDA reversed itself and said patients who could walk could still receive the drug, determining one patient’s death had been unrelated.
Prominent right-wing critic Kevin Bass said in a post that Sarepta had “used” Loomer as “a plant to oust FDA official Vinay Prasad," and Sommer reports former New York Times reporter and COVID skeptic Alex Berenson wrote that the pharmaceutical industry “taught its critics a powerful lesson” by pushing Prasad out.
Sommer notes other critics, including right-wing activist Ned Ryun, posted that Loomer was “completely nuts” and claimed she “got funded by Sarepta Therapeutics to take Vinay out; probably thru a middle man for deniability but still pharma money funding it all.”

How does this woman have such influence on Trump?
Hmmm...who knew?
Prasad was trying to ride the line down the middle. Apparently, he approved a vaccine while RFK was on vacation.
I was just commenting on an MTG thread about how Greene is off her meds on many occasions.
The same holds true for Loomer. And Tucker. And Rogan. And Candace Owens. And many other conservatives.
We take the good with the bad.
Robert Barnes, who is close to RFK, was on this as well. But he didn’t raise, let alone address, the charges of Prasad’s wild anti-Trumpism AND, purportedly, approving the new mRNA jabs behind RFK’s back, while he was on vacay.
She is different than most of us: She cares about the president AND has the skills and knowledge to point out the backstabbers who STILL run rampant in this administration. She is a true journalist who finds things the mainstream media, and even fux snooze can't or won't.
She doesn't have ENOUGH influence on trump. He is being shielded and controlled by his fat pig chief of staff and others who kiss his fat ass and tell him whatever he wants to hear about himself, and whatever they want him to know about everything else.
You know what. I agree with you there regarding Susie Wiles and Mike Walz— didn’t get the best impression of them. Very RINO vibes.
Pam Bondi I could understand keeping in the fold though due to loyalty to Trump(?) and without baggage of Matt Gaetz which would gave invaded the airwaves to beyond distracting proportions.
But for the field of medicine at large, purely from a clinical and objective perspective, Dr. Prasad did not seem red flagged to me. I don’t expect him to be ra-ra MAGA.
Proof: (enough)

She said Prasad praised Fauci. Im fact, Prasad is on record multiple times calling on him to resign. And all this happened after he began questioning the safety of a gene therapy that is very profitable for one of the big pharma companies. Makes you wonder.
