This weirdo looking friend of Peter Thiel with no medical knowledge is now your head of CDC.
Get ready to die.

2. Jim O'Neill has "no medical knowledge".

But...but...he knows how to manage hedge funds!

...or not.

From Wiki:

(While Jim O'Neill was managing director of) Clarium Capital, (it) was down 4.5% in 2008, down 25% in 2009, and down 23% in 2010. At the start of 2008, the fund had $4 billion in assets under management, raised to $7.8 billion in June 2008, then dropped to $1.5 billion in July 2009, after investors withdrew money from the fund. It lost most of its value in 2008 on large bets that the US dollar would fall, and AUM reached $681 million in December 2010.

(While Jim O'Neill was managing director of) Mithri Capital, the firm was subject to a 2019 federal investigation for potential financial misconduct
