But who really is the man who will be "Vice President for Global Public Health Preparedness"

"Simonson's alleged lack of qualifications and of public health experience have been a target""...a behind the scenes fixer who gets funding and political support for long-neglected public-health initiatives..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Simonson

"So how is it that Simonson ended up in a position that could impact the lives and health of millions? Simonson's qualifications can be summed up in two words: Tommy Thompson." [Chairman of Constella Advisory Board of Directors] "Mr. Simonson is a lawyer, not a medical expert," declared Representative Henry Waxman, who highlighted Simonson in a list of five "inexperienced individuals with political connections."
