WH Picks Kennedy Deputy Jim O’Neill to Replace CDC Chief



The White House has chosen a Deputy of Robert F Kennedy Jr. (I) to serve as the Acting Head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a Decision that comes as Lawyers for the Fired Director, Susan Monarez, Claim She will Not Depart, unless Trump (R) Removes Her.

A White House Official confirmed that Jim O’Neill, the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), had been Selected to Temporarily Lead the Public Health Agency, giving Kennedy an Ally in His efforts to Overhaul U.S. Vaccine Policy.

The Decision to Remove Monarez has Sparked further Turmoil within the CDC. Four other Senior Leaders Resigned over what they Condemned as Political Interference in their Work, Budget Cuts and the Spread of Misinformation under the Trump Administration.

Unlike Monarez, O’Neill does Not have a Medical or Scientific Background. He is a former Investment Executive, Served as a Speechwriter for the Health Department during the George W Bush (R) Administration, and went on to work for the Tech Investor and Conservative Mega-Donor Peter Thiel (R).
