A well-connected drug company and Laura Loomer wanted Kennedy ally Vinay Prasad gone. Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles got his job back.

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles was behind President Donald Trump’s highly unusual decision last week to rehire a vaccine regulator he’d just fired at the urging of MAGA influencer Laura Loomer.

Wiles’ intervention in getting Vinay Prasad’s job back, as described by two senior administration officials granted anonymity to discuss sensitive details, followed pleas from both Prasad’s boss, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary, and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. They insisted that Prasad is part of Kennedy’s broader Make America Healthy Again movement and integral to the Trump coalition.

“After Vinay left, Marty and Bobby worked very, very, very hard through Susie Wiles, the president’s chief of staff, to tell the president that Vinay was not anti-Trump,” one of the senior administration officials said. “The MAHA movement is an expansion of the MAGA, sort of, you know, big tent.”

Trump’s reversal demonstrated the limits of Loomer’s influence and marked a fragile win for Kennedy in pursuing his plans to overhaul U.S. regulation of vaccines and drugs — and confirmation that the White House still sees Kennedy as a useful political ally as the midterm elections approach.

Trump had forced Prasad out of his FDA job less than two weeks earlier after the Cambridge, Massachusetts, pharmaceutical manufacturer Sarepta Therapeutics, joined by GOP allies and Loomer,...

Trump needs to be careful. He should listen to the dept heads before Laura Loomer.

I heard the video/audio of this guy talking about blaming Trump for Covid deaths and having a Trump voodoo doll. Normally, you have to kiss his ass to get a job with him. Why is this different?

I’m a little more concerned about forced vaccines on my children, but could you explain what you mean by shill? There are people that support Israel’s right to exist in their existential fight against Islamic terror. Are they “shills”?

Reagan seemed to like her, too.

She's a devout Republican with impeccable credentials.

Find a DEM to go after.

You're disgusting...and it shows up on your bio.

Vinay Prasad was a lot more than a “vaccine regulator”. Firing him, apparently because of Laura Loomer of all people was a stupid mistake, now thankfully reversed.

Agree. Unfortunately, it doesn’t prevent ignorant and foul-mouthed Freepers from embarrassing themselves.

Good question. I’ll say the quiet part out loud. There are too many anti-Semites at FR.

Laura made her case nd she has made a lot of such cases, but she is just one advocate. She is not judge and jury as well.

Trump is a much bigger supporter of Israel, donated to Israel back in the 80s, long before politics.

Trump is more pro-Israel than AIPAC, or even the average Israeli, let alone the average anti-death penalty for terrorists Jew. If Trump had his druthers, Palestinian Arabs would be resettled in the Mediterranean Sea.

...Donald Trump’s father, Frederick Trump, built a shul for the congregation headed by his father, Rabbi Yisroel Wagner, and went on to make annual donations of funding for the kehillah and to aid Jewish families in financial distress...

Very True, and the reason why Miriam Adelson gave Trump $100 million last year for the campaign. There was even talk of him appointing her as our Ambassador to Israel.

Indeed. The Adelsons contributed $400m to Trump and GOP causes in his first term. They’ve been acquainted for at least 40 years, since the Adelsons’s Sands and Trump casino properties went head-to-head in Atlantic City.

The majority of Adelson assets is in Sands’s stock, yet Trump went ahead with China tariffs in term 1, increased the pressure in term 2. Since over 50% of Sands’s revenues and profits come from Macau, China and its gaming license can be yanked at will , it’s clear Adelson business interests cut no ice with Trump, whereas backing Israel is basically Trump’s personal cause.

Her credentials include shilling for Nthunyahoo, who is now sending gazans to the US. I hope they send them to your neighborhood, so you can learn what the Broom of Israel is first hand.

You are a loser and a fool. I looked at YOUR bio...it's as blank as your mind.
