I am not sure how much of a role “politics” is playing in Dr Prasad’s perspectives.
Having followed his opinions of social media, I do sense that he’s fed up with the system of governance and misplaced regulation of healthcare, (the way laws are interpreted into agency and institutional policies, the deprofessionalization of the medical profession and the turnover of healthcare to bureaucrats who know little and care even less about patient centered/personalized decisions).
That litany of issues has the backing of many physicians and patients across the political spectrum, including libertarians and individualists like myself.
....the annual Covid booster shot “a public health disaster the likes of which we’ve never seen before” (!) Such Trumpian hyperbole, and not exactly evidence based. Worse than smoking tobacco? Air pollution? Medical errors? More to come: global warming and all its sequellae.
Anyway, hopefully he will be more reformer than chaotic disrupter. It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall to hear his conversations with RFK Jr., practitioner par excellence of BSBM.
“Right” “left”? What do those terms mean in terms of healthcare? Ine of tgem means “policies you like” and one neans “policies you don’t like” . Worse stilll, tgey mean “person you like and whatever they think/ say” and the opposite. Prasad is a highly trained professional who has done a LOT of research and is respected by his peers, with whom he has substantive disagreements with all the time. Why not just engage his arguments directly rather than say “he said something that trump agreed with, therefore…..”. You read the “titles” of some of his research papers? Thanks so much for such in depth analysis. Saves me a lot of time. How about you read one of his books or engage one or more of his arguments. That would actually contribute something. “He right wing”: I can get that 1,000 different places and end up as dumb as i am after your, mercifully brief, “analysis”. Do better, man.
Pfizer don't need selling clot shots to be profitable. Pfizer already generates huge amounts of revenue even before the pandemic. The only ones that would get hit are Moderna and Novavax considering they have no product other than clot shots. The US is the outlier. No country in the world other than the US still manufactures clot shots. Whatever the US does is irrelevant to the rest of the world.
“Make America Healthy Again?” It’s not likely given the chaos and confusion within HHS. The US already ranks last among high-income nations on key health indicators. The actions taken thus far by RFK Jr. are not likely to move the US up in the rankings.

The extreme left joins up with the extreme right. Not new. Or surprising, when whack-jobs run the country and the HHS.
