The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has confirmed that Dr. Vinay Prasad is leaving the agency for the second time in less than a year.

Prasad, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), will depart at the end of April, with no successor named yet.

Prasad was appointed in 2025 to lead the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), the division responsible for regulating vaccines, blood products, and gene therapies.

Prasad’s first departure came in July 2025, when he abruptly resigned after only a few months in the role following an explosive exposé led by investigative journalist Laura Loomer.

The Gateway Punditreported last year that Loomer publicly exposed Prasad’s shocking anti-Trump rhetoric, far-left allegiances, and dangerous abuse of regulatory power.

“We have a crisis at the FDA! A wolf in sheep’s clothing is sabotaging President Trump’s bold “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) agenda!” Loomerwrote on X.

Loomer continued, “This is no mere bureaucratic misstep. It’s a catastrophic vetting failure that threatens to derail the America First healthcare revolution. Prasad’s anti-Trump rhetoric, radical left-wing ideology, and deliberate actions to obstruct our President’s deregulatory mission prove he’s a dangerous misfit. The time to act is NOW—Prasad must be REMOVED before he destroys Trump’s vision for a healthier America!”

In 2021, Prasad described himself as a “political liberal, closest to Elizabeth Warren” and a“Sanders/Warren liberal,”proudly embracing a progressive identity.He voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016Democratic primary, and FEC records reveal he donated to Sanders’ campaign, signaling his support for radical left-wing policies.

In 2020, Prasaddeclared on Xthat he wanted “Biden to win more than anything” and confirmed he voted against Trump, solidifying his opposition to the President.

Prasad’s policy positions are a direct affront to the conservative principles underpinning Trump’s agenda. He advocates for universal basic income, student loan forgiveness,open borders, and Roe v. Wade abortion standards. He supports a 50% marginal tax rate for high earners,a wealth tax,single-payer healthcare,universally funded pre-K and community college,and expansive parental leave policies.
