GSK fires ex-Operation Warp Speed chief Moncef Slaoui over 'substantiated' sexual harassment claims

Moncef Slaoui, who was chief scientist for the U.S governments Covid vaccine development effort Operation Warp Speed during the Trump administration, was fired as Galvani Bioelectronics chairman over substantiated sexual harassment allegations by a woman, it was announced Wednesday.
Slaouis dismissal by the board of Galvani majority shareholder GlaxoSmithKline came after GSK in February was sent a letter containing allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct towards an employee of GSK by Dr. Slaoui, GSK said in a statement.
That conduct occurred several years ago when he was an employee of GSK, the statement said.
Slaoui, 61, had spent 30 years at GSK, overseeing vaccine development at that pharmaceutical giant.
Upon receipt of the letter, the GSK Board immediately initiated an investigation with an experienced law firm to investigate the allegations, GSK said.
The investigation of Dr. Slaouis conduct substantiated the allegations and is ongoing.
Dr. Slaouis behaviours are wholly unacceptable, GSK said.

(1,402 posts)That's how they find their prey and find each other. Unfortunately it's not as amazing as we would like to think it is.
know what you're saying is true. It's just hard to wrap your mind around those kind things when your brain isn't wired that way. For instance, the epstein horror, I say if you've been on his plane you're a member of "The Club".

(1,402 posts)Because it is so horrific and so outside my realm of reality. If we don't know who these predators are, we can't protect ourselves and others. Sat on a jury with unaware jurors who also couldn't fathom how a stepfather could molest his daughter. Needless to say, because I knew their drill, I hung the jury. I know, reality isn't pretty. That's why I've researched it so much. Take care!
