RFK JR. Jim O’Neill’s deputy to work as a deputy commander in the United States CDC

Jim O’Neill, former investor, health regulations and US Minister of Health Robert F. control. Kennedy Junior, at the United States Centers to control and prevent diseases (CDC) after a turbulent week in which the agency manager was forced.

O’Neill was chosen by US President Donald Trump to be the temporary director of the Center for Disease Control, Solid Susan MonaresA government world for a long time.

Monarerez was the director of the Disease Control Center for less than a month. Her lawyers said that she rejected “non -scientific directives, and health experts who are exhausted from fire.”

O’Neil takes over an agency She shook fireKennedy’s resignation and resignation to reshape the nation’s vaccine policies to suit his long -term doubts about the safety and effectiveness of the long -running shots.

in A publication for social media on Friday afternoonO’Neill said that he is looking to work with the employees of the Disease Control Center and “announce additions to the higher leadership in the coming weeks.” He added that he will continue to do so He works as a secretary From the US Department of Health and Humanitarian Services (HHS).

Previously participated in businessmen in the field of technology billionaire Peter Thil, previously helped to manage a Thiel investment fund and later managed many of his other projects. This non -profit organization that works to develop human -made islands float outside the American region, allowing them to experience new forms of government.

It has no training in medicine or health care and holds a Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Humanities.

The level of independence is unclear

O’Neill kept a significantly lower area than the senior health officials in Trump, all of whom joined the administration in Washington strangers. He is also the only person with experience in HHS, as he served for six years during the era of US President George W. Bush.

Those who know him say it is likely to be charged with trying to calm the situation in the center of diseases control – although it is unclear what Kennedy will get.

“Jim O’Neil is a professional in health care policy and I don’t think anyone can accuse him of being a doll in RFK JR. Socq.”

“The question becomes whether the role of the director of the Disease Control Center becomes the position of strict paper tiger, as the person does not only do what the Secretary said.”

O’Neil is not closely related to the “Make Americaa Healthy” movement again for Kennedy and its efforts Against food dyesFluoride and highly treated foods.

He was also not a major critic of public health measures during the epidemic, unlike the head of the US Food and Drug Administration Marti Macari and other Trump officials. However, O’Neill used social media to criticize the efforts of the FDA to stop the description of the unproven treatments for Covid-19, including anti-parasite Evermec.

I was appointed to the top of the FDA Post during the Trump’s first term

O’Neill has long -term relations with the Republican Party’s liberation wing, including Thil, one of the most prominent supporters of Trump from Silicon Valley. Like Thiel, O’Neill expressed contempt for many parts of the federal bureaucracy, saying that it hinders progress in medicine, technology and other areas.

During the first period of Trump, O’Neill was examined as a potential option to lead the FDA, although his previous statements about the agency have sparked warnings between the executives of pharmaceutical and medical technology.

In particular, O’Neill suggested getting rid of the 60 -year -old FDA state to ensure safe and effective drugs in the treatment of the disease. In the 2014 speech, O’Neill suggested that the drug event be created after the drugs reach the market.

Trump finally nominated Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former FDA official (FDA) and supporter of the agency’s organizational approach, as a commissioner.

No criticism of Kennedy’s opinions on vaccines

After his nomination of the HHS center, O’Neill expressed his support for the traditional system of the federal government to oversee vaccine – including the role of the Disease Control Center – with the refusal to criticize Kennedy’s views on this topic.

“I support the recommendations of the Disease Control Center for Vaccines,” O’Neill told Senator Republican Louisiana Bill Cassidy in a confirmation session in June. “I think this central role played by the Center for Disease Control. It is dedicated to the law.”

In follow -up questions, Democrat Ron Widen on O’Neil pressed data by Kennedy to reduce the safety and effectiveness of vaccines to prevent measles and other diseases.

O’Neill replied, “Secretary Kennedy did not make it difficult and do not inhibit people from taking vaccines.”

Within weeks, O’Neil can be asked to sign new recommendations from the Kennedy CDC committee Reshaving with skeptical vaccine. The group is scheduled to meet next month to review the measles vaccinations, hepatitis and other cases that have been established long ago on the government fortification schedule for children.

Traditionally, the director of the Diseases Control Center signs recommendations from the committee. But Monarerez has yet been expelled, among other things, she refused to sign automatically on the recommendations of the committee, according to Dr. Richard Besser, the former director of the representation at the Center for Disease Control that she spoke with.

A time limit for the leaders based on them

As an official official, Federal Law, O’Neill, is limited to no more than 210 days headed by the agency before being aside or formally nominated to the position.

Dr. Ann Shuchhat, who has been twice as a director of the behavior of the Disease Control Center, says that there are no limits in the prosecution of the prosecution heads of agencies, after the time is close.

“I was told: You are the director. Do what you have to do.”

Shuchhat said that both O’Neill’s roles in HHS and CDC are demanding full -time full -time, which will be very difficult for one person to do at one time.

“But if the goal is that the director of the Acting Disease Control Center will fulfill a pre -determined decision on vaccines, then this is a different story,” Shuchhat said.

She added that O’Neill was there this week’s exit for the four managers of the Center for the Center for Control of Diseases, leaving the agency with a few leaders who have a background in the field of medicine, science or the management of the public health crisis.
