President Donald Trump has picked Jim O’Neill, a former investor and critic of health regulations serving under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to take control of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, following a tumultuous week in which the agency’s director was forced out.
https://fortune.com/2025/08/29/who-is-jim-oneill-acting-head-cdc-peter-thiel-robert-kennedy/ O’Neill, Kennedy’s deputy at the Department of Health and Human Services, will supplant Susan Monarez, a longtime government scientist who had been the CDC director for less than a month.
Monarez’s lawyers said she refused “to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts.”
O’Neill takes over as acting director of an agency that has been rocked by firings, resignations and efforts by Kennedy to reshape the nation’s vaccine policies to match his long-standing suspicions about the safety and effectiveness of long-established shots.
An HHS spokesperson said Friday that O’Neill would continue to serve as deputy of the department but did not provide details on his new role.

A former associate of billionaire tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel, O’Neill previously helped run one of Thiel’s investment funds and later managed several of his other projects. Those included a nonprofit working to develop manmade islands that would float outside U.S. territory, allowing them to experiment with new forms of government.

O’Neill has long-standing ties to the libertarian wing of the Republican Party, including Thiel, one of Trump’s leading supporters from Silicon Valley. Like Thiel, O’Neill has expressed disdain for many parts of the federal bureaucracy, saying it hinders advances in medicine, technology and other areas.

In CM Kornbluth's 1951 short story, "the marching morons". There is a secret cadre of 6M intelligent people left on the planet who do all the behind the scenes planning and work and they have a front of morons. In the 2006 movie, Idiocracy, there is a similar cadre of people.ashkeNAZI Herr Stephen Miller is one of these people in control and the present administration in the White House.

I'm not against 10-20 vaccines from 1-5 years for the really dangerous stuff with proven vaccines with low side effects. But we have to get rid of stuff like the original polio vaccine that now accounts for more vaccine derived polo cases then natural polio cases worldwide.

You need to understand this. The less qualified someone is for a position, the more likely they are to get it in Trump's administration. He actively wants people who have no idea what they're talking about so that there's no chance of them contradicting what he's saying with stuff like expertise or reality. He doesn't just want loyalty, he wants incompetence.

>>1431320 >https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_eradication >Because cVDPV2 strains continued to arise from trivalent oral vaccine that included attenuated PV2, during 2016 this vaccine was replaced with a bivalent version lacking WPV2 as well as trivalent injected inactivated vaccine that cannot lead to cVDPV cases. This was expected to prevent new strains of cVDPV2 from arising and allow eventual cessation of WPV2 vaccination.[135] The resulting global use of the injectable vaccine caused shortages,[136] and led the WHO in April 2017 to recommend general use of the fIPV vaccination protocol, involving subcutaneous injection of a lower dose than used in the standard intramuscular delivery.[137] In 2017 they nearly finished completely eradicating polio, but they got overzealous and because of a shortage of the new and improved vaccine, they recommended giving the old one out. In 2010 it was about 1-1.5k wild polio and 30-70 cases of vaccine derived polio a year. In 2020 it was 1000+ vaccine polio and minimal wild polio.

>>1431336 Just know that that list is woefully incomplete. I have a child in school in Connecticut and even though the state website says flu is not required past 5 years old, it is in local school boards. And because they removed the religious exemption in CT, I almost ended up filing a lawsuit I didnt have the money for until I found on the website that the religious exemption removal wasn't going into effect until after their final year of school started.

Public health experts are working to understand how and where the individual was infected and provide protective measures, such as vaccination services to the community to prevent the spread of polio to under- and unvaccinated individuals. LOL LMAO, LAWL.
Its the exact opposite, welcome to clown world.

>>1431366 >>1431368 Yes, because the WHO had a target to keep, the only way to catch polio is by a vaccine that they refused to stop using despite proven side effects of causing secondary infections. When there were alternatives. And now instead of removing the polio vaccine from the schedule, we have to immunize everyone until those people die in ~50 years
>>1431369 Well, too bad then. I'm not getting vaccinated for anything under a 15% mortality rate.
I completely understand that is not free bioavailable mercury. I don't even have a single tattoo or piercing. My body, my choice.
Why fight me on this? Don't you want people to take vaccines to make everyone healthier?
