Florida Drug Company and Laura Loomer Allegedly Targeted Kennedy Ally Vinay Prasad
⢠A POLITICO investigation reveals a wellāconnected pharmaceutical company and conservative commentator Laura Loomer have sought to undermine Dr. Vinay Prasad, an ally of Senator Robert F. Kennedy Jr., over his criticism of certain drugāpricing and regulatory practices. ⢠The report alleges coordinated socialāmedia campaigns and behindātheāscenes lobbying efforts meant to discredit Prasadās research and publicāhealth commentary. ⢠Pharmaceutical trade groups and some patient advocates have pushed back, saying that Big Pharma naturally tries to defend its business model, but critics warn of growing corporateābacked attempts to silence dissenting medical voices.
