Vaccine venture capitalist Moncef Slaoui

Moncef Slaoui is listed as a "venture capitalist" not a doctor.
They are dramatically overexaggerating his accomplishments at GSK, he was an incredible flop that cost GSK millions with no real results:

Slaoui was known for embracing a slate of potential breakthrough drugs while he was head of R&D, though the company wasn’t able to capitalize on any of them. The blockbuster drug candidates ultimately failed, though GSK has had some big successes in HIV and vaccines. Now GSK is trying to revamp its pipeline, looking to kickstart an otherwise lackluster development group

That last sentence is key. He was likely asked to leave GSK on mutual terms so they could revamp their R&D to actually produce some results.

He is a vaccine maker that's never actually made a vaccine.
