The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Prasad's return to the CBER, at the request of the FDA, was necessary to restore scientific vigor. His track record shows a commitment to evidence-based medicine, having demanded stronger data for COVID vaccines and setting stricter protocols for experimental treatments. The agency needs leaders like Prasad who prioritize patient safety over industry pressure.

Establishment-critical narrative

Prasad's reinstatement to the FDA is an egregious betrayal of the Trump administration.  A proven far-left subversive who has previously wished death upon the president and called MAGA supporters criminals, Prasad is unfit to serve under this administration, which threatens its ambitions to streamline regulations and prioritize American health.
