Laura Loomer is apoplectic after the Food and Drug Administration moved to reinstate a chief science officer whose removal she had publicly lobbied for last month. Dr. Vinay Prasad, one of the agency’s top vaccine regulators, stepped down in late July amid intense criticism from Loomer who, among other things, accused him of once using a “voodoo doll” to curse President Donald Trump. The far-right influencer called Vinay’s reinstatement “another egregious personnel decision” in an X post Saturday, promising she would increase pressure on the Department of Health and Human Services over its staffing policies. “In the coming weeks, I will be ramping up my exposes of officials within HHS and FDA so the American people can see more of the pay for play rot themselves and how rabid Trump haters continue to be hired in the Trump administration,” she said. “There are several Senate Confirmation hearings coming up and I have multiple oppo books ready for distribution! Should be a good time.”
