Every single member of Biden's Health Transition Team is a former CIA agent except for one lady who is former FBI and is part of the National Intelligence Task Force. A little over a dozen of them. And not a single one has anything healthcare or health policy related listed in their bio. :-/

I wonder what's going on there. Ones security for Disney another is corporate intelligence for Uber. Super duper weird. I wonder what the logic is behind that...

Maybe they discovered that the coronavirus has rich oil deposits...?

Tbf the absolutely worst possible option would be any health care execs considering how loving vile this country's health care system is. They'd spend the entire term walling m4a in the cask of amontillado so it could never happen. Actually health care practitioners are likewise terrible choices as they have no relatable skillsets to the implementation of public health administration. See Ben carson.

Didn't go to a chud gathering last week, turns out one immunocompromised family member lied to me about getting the flu vaccine before going to Florida and I yelled at them about it. Now I have him and other chud family texting me saying they got the flu vaccine and therefore I should come visit because "they're now immune".

I then explained they're not immune to COVID, the flu shot takes 2 weeks to take effect, and no I'm still not visiting.

Why are they so dumb

why is everybody so god drat loving stupid

was on a call earlier with a sales dude I work with and he zoomed me from a loving Starbucks in a grocery store and of course he was maskless and "needed to get out of the house". THEN, my kids' mom asked if I could take them to a loving BIRTHDAY PARTY this weekend at an indoor trampoline park but hey it's okay as "it will be small and they will wear masks". Had to respond with a "No, absolutely not" and it astounds me that there are people STILL with the lack of cognitive thought process to just stay the gently caress home.

It's just endlessly confusing how conditioned people are to force through their way of life regardless of the consequences on others.

Seeing how Biden is going hard against M4A, it makes sense to fill your team full of CIA in order to completely stop it in its track during his term.

Ok here's the DHHS transition team from his website. Way more than 12 people and lots of health policy experience for the random names I've checked. Every google result is just the COVID team, which has a number of doctors and infectious disease experts.

Like I don't trust Biden either but I honestly can't find what everyone is referencing with the "they're all CIA" posts.

Just like climate change, Biden will say "he listens to scientists" but then will just ignore everything they say in favor of the ECONOMY

on the flu shot stuff: I wonder if its more correlation because the kind of person who gets their flu shot tends to be more conscience about spreading illness in the first place and probably follows all guidelines possible.

Yeah of course the CIA's bioterrorism people are going to be involved. But this claim that there are no doctors and no health experts and it's just intelligence agency people all the way down has been going around for a couple days.

The Health Transition Team is there to oversee the building of the health team, which is to say ensure ideological purity among eventual picks. This is why they're using spooks, who are trained in identifying the correct psychological profile of obedience to the status quo. Not a single person picked will be without a reason to maintain the state in it's current form lol

Also expect more head scratching poo poo like this because Bidens transition team was over a thousand people 3 months ago and its doubtless WAY bigger now
