You are a liar. You know you are lying. Yet you keep lying. You have manipulated that audio clip to deceive your audience. We have told you this again and again. Below I have attached the FULL CONTEXT from the clip here for ANYONE to listen to. It is from interview that Dr. Prasad did with Professor John Ioannidis. Ioannidis, like Prasad, was a strong critic of the draconian COVID response and was smeared ruthlessly for it. Prasad was a big supporter of Ioannidis and later became a big supporter of Trump. The clip shows that Prasad was making fun of the people who smeared Trump and Ioannidis. PRASAD IS SAYING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING HE IS SAYING. You have manipulated the audio clip to deceive your audience and to lie. And, you are doing the same thing to Prasad that the left did to countless people who spoke up against the insanity over the past 5 years. You are lying to try to silence Prasad so that he cannot speak the truth. This is so evil. Let me tell you about Sarepta Therapeutics. Sarepta's drugs are dangerous and worthless, and Vinay Prasad threatened to put an end to them. That's where you come in. You were recruited by Chris LaCivita, who was hired by Sarepta Therapeutics to oust and silence Vinay Prasad. But controversy over this company's horrible drugs has been going on for over a decade. For over a decade, the company has published horrible studies that not even an incompetent undergrad would design. Repeatedly, the drug has been forced through the FDA by politicians, leading to over a decade of resignations in protest by respected scientists. What's worse, is that the evidentiary standards have actually eroded over time. Back in 2016, FDA scientists were appalled at the approvals of the company's drugs, saying that there was no evidence they worked. Several resigned. FDA commissioner actually had to step in. He wrote: "blinded experts assembled by the FDA fundamentally debunked this study, which has yet to be retracted and continues to be cited" The studies were all dogsh*t. Now, in 2025, we have strong evidence that the drugs do not work. Not just no evidence. Strong evidence AGAINST the drugs working. And they kill people. Yet FDA keeps approving the drugs. Why? Because the drugs are for extremely vulnerable children who are going to die. The parents are desperate. What does Sarepta do? It brainwashes extremely psychological vulnerable parents. It pours hundreds of millions of dollars into big conferences with miraculous snake oil claims about curing their childrens' disease. Sarepta has professional coaches train patients and their parents on how to deliver testimonials to politicians and FDA. Sarepta also threatens lawsuits against patient groups who criticize their drugs. This ensures that the brainwashing can continue apace, because parents are being fed wrong information in a sealed echo chamber. Parents of patients are desperate. Their childrens' lives are on the line. Sarepta creates sealed echo chambers. And then psychologically abuses these parents and exploits their desperation. So when Sarepta submits their terrible studies to FDA, they are actually in a great position no matter how terrible their science is. Why? All they have to do is send these psychologically abused parents to lobby the politicians with emotional, desperate stories. Politicians don't have the time to dive into the science. They believe and are compelled by these sob stories. So they pressure the FDA. Sarepta has essentially created a cannon fodder patient parent cult that it launches at politicians to pressure FDA to approve a worthless and dangerous drug. That's their business model. That's why their science is so bad. It's because Sarepta is not actually biotech company. It is a marketing company dressed as a biotech company. The marketing is the core of Sarepta's business, not biotech. Its biotech is absolute sh*t. I could design better studies than Sarepta while being dead drunk in the middle of the night. That's because Sarepta is a marketing company, not a biotech company. And its drugs cost hundreds of millions of dollars to the American taxpayer. They are corporate handouts from hardworking Americans. For doing absolutely terrible science and running absolutely terrible studies and making an absolutely terrible drug that kills people. Now Sarepta was about to go bankrupt. Its stock was down 88%. Vinay Prasad said f*ck you Sarepta. So, Sarepta hired DC insider Chris LaCivita. Chris recruited you, Laura Loomer, to try to destroy Vinay Prasad. This is banana republic sh*t. It's completely insane. A healthy society cannot function this way. Laura Loomer, you are lying and misrepresenting FDA official Vinay Prasad because Sarepta is trying to ensure the grift can continue. Laura Loomer, you want to take Vinay Prasad out so that Sarepta Therapeutics and other companies like it can continue their parasitical grift on the American taxpayer. You want to strike terror into FDA officials so that they cannot do their jobs of serving the American people and ensuring that they are protected from dangerous and worthless drugs. Tell your audience the truth. YOU ARE A HIRED GUN for big pharma and an evil liar.

Rich Paul says $3.2 million is “a lot of money” and too many NBA players cut themselves short because of ego “They should go away from this ‘minimum and maximum contract.’” “It’s like $3.2 million.” “That’s a lot of money for just a regular job.” “People don’t understand that.” “If you can make that for three years or five years on your way out…” “When you finally understand what money actually is…” “And what to do with it…” “Your family is finally settled.” “You’re living in a house that you’ll probably live in for the rest of your life.” “If you can catch two or three extra years at the end…” “Guys are cutting themselves short based upon ego and attitude.” “Then they wonder why.”

This is going to blow your mind Dr Bryan Ardis EXPOSES The FDA created a process that allows Big Pharma TO BUY THEIR OWN DRUG APPROVALS It costs $10 million dollars “Big Pharma buys the FDA's approval. In fact — like 30 years ago, the FDA stopped having to do all the review process for all drugs (approved through this process) If you just paid a lump fee up front. Drug maker, you want to pay us $10 million up front? We'll automatically allow you to start selling this right now. Put it on the shelves. If you believe, and can prove in your own research studies, that trust us must not be biased at all, you give us a $10 million upfront stipend, we'll just go ahead and approve it” So Big Pharma is allowed to provide their own research, of their own clinical trials (totally not bias), and for $10 million dollars they get fast tracked through the process and get an approval Absolutely insane

"I think what tech people misunderstand is just the size of the TAM in pharma." delian says capital will rotate into pharma after AGI: "Anthropic is at what, a $60B run rate? Keytruda, the drug that Merck did in 2019, that one drug's topline is $25B in revenue. Just that one drug." "By the way, once there's AGI, what do you think everybody's going to be focused on afterwards? Everybody's just going to want to live forever. Where do you think the capital is going to rotate into? It's going to rotate into longevity, therapeutics, and manufacturing."

Pharmaceutical companies marking up a drug 3,000% to Medicare. Meaning because they know taxpayers are paying for it, they’re charging 30x THE PRICE - Drug name Cialis - Medicare paying $481 per prescription - Cost without insurance $14 - Medicare filled this prescription 492,000 times in 2022 costing taxpayers $237 million dollars “Medicare is being overcharged by $230 million every year for only one drug.” “This happens because Medicare uses a pharmacy benefits manager to handle all things pharmacy for them. They decide what's covered, how much your copay will be, how much it'll cost the government, and how much they'll pay the pharmacy. With all that power, they've decided that we should pay a 3000% markup. What a great deal.”

🚨 US Pharmacist has another message for Elon Musk and DOGE for saving Medicare money “DOGE $1.4 billion wasted on 1 drug” - Drug name Aripiprazole, Medicare is OVERPAYING BY 1633% PER PRESCRIPTION - Aripiprazole was dispensed 7.2 million times in 2022 at an average of $208 each - That makes the total that Medicare spent $1.5 billion in one year on only 1 drug - At a pharmacy that doesn’t take insurance, “That medication costs 12 bucks” - If we filled all 7.2 million of those, the total cost would be $86 million. That means that of the $1.5 billion that they spent more than $1.4 billion of that was wasted The healthcare industry is a racket

That means Medicare is overpaying by $663 million every year.” Good find TheRedPilledGirl

This is a big one 🚨 US Pharmacist found another “Massive way for DOGE and Elon Musk to cut” Medicare costs - Medication is called Abiraterone, Medicare pays $3,400 for each prescription - At a pharmacy that doesn’t take insurance it ONLY COST $96. (Medicare mark up 3441%) - Medicare filled this prescription 442,000 times in 2022 - That means they paid $1.5 billion for that drug in one year alone - If every single one of those 442,000 was filled at the no insurance price, it would cost $42 million - Medicare is wasting $1.458 BILLION by overpaying on only one drug in just one year Again, this is a $1.458 BILLION DOLLAR MARKUP TO TAXPAYERS ON ONE SINGLE DRUG EVERY YEAR “How is that possible? There's a middleman called the pharmacy benefits Manager, that's Express Scripts, Optum or CVS Caremark. They tell Medicare how much to pay, but guess what? They also own pharmacies. Golly, I wonder why medications are so expensive. Let's cancel those middleman contracts and bring prices back to reality.”
