Dr. Vinay Prasad was removed from his FDA leadership role after right-wing activist Laura Loomer exposed his previous liberal social media posts. Prasad, a supporter of Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, faced backlash that resulted in his resignation. Loomer branded Prasad as a saboteur of the Trump administration. Political loyalties and affiliations within the Trump administration significantly impact career stability, particularly within influential organizations like the FDA, as noted by political experts who commented on the situation.
If you've previously described yourself in social media posts as a progressive, Bernie Sanders fan and a political liberal, closest to Elizabeth Warren, best delete those posts if you want to stay employed.
Prasad's posts from 2021 and 2022 are still up on social media platform X. But he's out from his leadership role at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, after right-wing conspiracy theorist, social media influencer and Trump loyalist Laura Loomer exposed his posts.
Loomer labeled him on X as a wolf in sheep's clothing and The Progressive Leftist Saboteur Undermining President Trump's FDA.
That's the way the Trump administration works. You see it very clearly in the FDA where their politics take precedent over everything else.
