The White House has named a replacement for the director of the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a day after its previous leader was forced out of the job.

"I've never heard as many colleagues saying things like 'CDC is dead' as I have today," an agency employee told STAT. www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c ...

US health policies and strategies as a result of political obsequiousness, and not as a result of medical information.

How can that possibly go wrong?

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Intro]
daeh ym ni sneriS
yznerf a otni snips efil elohw yM
Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
There's a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on him
It's two a.m.

[Verse 1]
It's two a.m., the fear has gone
(It's two a.m., the fear has gone)
I'm sitting here waitin', the gun's still warm
(I'm sitting here waitin', the gun's still warm)
Maybe my connection is tired of takin' chances

Yeah, there's a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
Wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
Cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy

[Chorus]
Help, I'm steppin' into the Twilight Zone
Place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far?

Help, I'm steppin' into the Twilight Zone
Place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far?

Go to his wiki page.

en.wikipedia.org(investor)

What a creepy looking MFer.

One line stood out to me

After working at HHS, O'Neill was managing director of Clarium Capital, a Thiel-led hedge fund, during 2008"2012.[4][6][7] During this time he was also CEO of the Thiel Foundation from 2009 to 2012 and was managing director from 2008 to 2012 at Thiel Capital.

So a puppet with zero actual experience beyond having Peter Thiel's hand up his a&& as a professional "investor" is now leading what was the world's preeminent public health institution before the Trump morons got a hold of it.

I'm sure that's going to work out great for the rest of us.

This Peter Thiel puppet is going to monetize every patient using AI or other Palantir-type technology. This cabal of ghouls are going to make money off of people's illnesses and miseries.

First half of GOP control of America: Dummkopf Trumpf and Felon Musk.

Second half of GOP control of America. JD Vance and Peter Thiel.

And JD Vance told USAToday that after 200 days of experience flying around on vacation with Usha, he's ready to step into Trumpf's shoes as President if a tragedy should befall Dear Leader.

"And JD Vance told USAToday that after 200 days of experience flying around on vacation with Usha, he's ready to step into Trumpf's shoes as President if a tragedy should befall Dear Leader."

I don't know about you but I'm getting the impression that "tragedy" has already befallen Dear Leader.

It would be an interesting twist if Putin poisoned Dementia Donnie in Anchorage. Those GCCCP suits coming out of the Putin meeting sure did look shaken.

@#4 ... This Peter Thiel puppet ...

At first, I had thought your comment might be referring to VP Vance.

CHUFFY

Not likely. Putin farms out his dirty work. Notice, for example, that he has never been connected to the multitude of his enemies who have fallen out of windows after opposing him.

Unlike Trump, Putin is smart enough to make sure nothing can be traced to him.
