Trump Picks Kennedy Deputy as Acting CDC Director
The Trump administration has picked Deputy Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Jim O’Neill to serve as acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a day after the administration fired current Director Susan Monarez, officials told The Hill.Monarez is contesting her firing, though the White House has confirmed her ouster following a statement on Wednesday from HHS.
O’Neill is a Silicon Valley investor and former CEO of the Thiel Foundation, funded by Trump donor Peter Thiel. He previously served as principal associate deputy secretary at HHS during the George W. Bush administration.
He was sworn in as deputy secretary in June.

You didn't list his background in disease control and prevention. Does he have any? Why did they fire Dr. Monarez?
Another "You can't fire me " bureaucrat. Kick her ass to the curb!
Who cares, 5:13? Did you know her?
It just makes no sense if Trump doesn't want these people in his administration under his leadership right now in the federal government he should have the right to get rid of anyone he wants to even that powell guy kick their asses the hell out and put people in there that are going to do the job!
