Jim O'Neill was sworn in as Deputy Secretary of the Center for Disease Control. He is the latest private equity underwriter (PEU) to be installed in a key government position.
O'Neill was under consideration for FDA Chief under Trump I. He thought drugs did not need to be reviewed for efficacy.
O'Neill's appointment comes as the CDC experienced numerous resignations and the firing of a newly approved Chief for what has been described as toxic work environment. Oddly, O'Neill sued his former employer for same.
O'Neill serves on the board of ADvantage Therapeutics, which uses mRNA. My guess is Jim wants mRNA research funding but not for you to have an mRNA vaccine.
Vice President J.D. Vance worked alongside O'Neill at Mithril Capital, although worked may be an overstatement..
Who better to turn medicine into fee generating software than Jim O'Neill? If drugs don't need efficacy, what passes will this PEU TechGod give to AI?
The days grow darker as politicians Red and Blue surrender to PEU and their TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one (as in the case of Jim O'Neill).
