WASHINGTON — A slow-boiling feud between Vinay Prasad and his staff at the Food and Drug Administration is threatening the future of the center that regulates the nation’s vaccines, biological products, and blood supply.

These officials said staffers are terrified of pushing back on Prasad, lest they face retaliation. Advertisement
