Trump just commuted the 7-year sentence of David Gentile, a private equity leader who helped defraud thousands of people out of some $1.6 billion, almost as soon as his prison stint began.

Vinay Prasad sent Tracey Høeg dumpster diving in VAERS for pretext to block access to flu vaccines, alter safety standards, end combo vaccines, & hold clinical trials to impossible standards.
CBER is supposed to regulate vaccines, not withhold them. FDA is as broken as CDC.

I’m going to be clear. In my opinion, none of these people can be trusted. Prasad and Hoeg made their careers out of an agenda to take down COVID19 vaccines.
It is so incredibly dangerous to have these people at the FDA. They are a threat to the entire U.S. vaccination program.
