According to Horgan, Prasad’s time at the FDA is rendered moot by a YouTube video. I wrote about this previously and we should call it out. It’s wrong to treat bad faith actors as good faith actors and we should call this out too.

How many deaths will it take for people to realize that we can do something about it. Sure would be nice to have clear consistent messaging from all levels of government explaining how safe and effective vaccination is and how it’s a community responsibility to protect each other.
