The Verdict [False]
Social media posts falsely claim that Arati Prabhakar, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, was arrested on New Year's Eve 2023 by the Marine Corps on charges of treason.
The posts claim that "White Hats," a reference to QAnon adherents in the U.S. Government, discovered she had written a proposal to infuse drinking water with COVID-19 vaccines. The claim has been shared on Facebook and Twitter, and originates from the conspiratorial website Real Raw News.
However, the claim is false.
An arrest similar to this would make major news publications, but no credible sources have reported on the story, only Real Raw News and minor conspiratorial websites. On January 1, 2024, Arathi Prabhakar issued a statement from the White House Office of Science and Technology regarding the passing of Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson. Johnson died on December 31, 2023, the day Real Raw News claims Prabhakar was arrested.
The Pentagon press office has confirmed to Logically Facts that the claim is false.
