Former tobacco executive joins CDC senior leadership, raising concerns over industry influence
A former tobacco industry executive has been appointed to senior leadership at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, alarming public health advocates and critics of industry influence on government.
Stephen Sayle, named in March as the CDC’s deputy director for legislative affairs, previously worked at Fontem Ventures, a subsidiary of the British multinational tobacco corporation Imperial Brands. Between 2017 and 2018, he was U.S. vice president of corporate affairs at Fontem, which is focused on non-combustible tobacco products like the e-cigarette brand blu and the oral nicotine pouch brand Zone.

Okay. Then I'll keep going:
Lawrence Taylor was named to the President's council by Donald Trump to oversee the Presidential Fitness Test for children.
The problem? Lawrence Taylor is a registered sex offender for having sex with a 16 yr old:

Keep looking the other way as Trump keeps refusing to release unredacted Epstein files.
