President Trump has appointed a pro-Covid Vaccine as next Director of the CDC. Susan Monarez worked with DARPA and wants to expand the use of wearables to see who is vaccinated or unvaccinated. Monarez was a leading advocate for masking children in schools and continued promoting the COVID-19 vaccine as recently as October 2024. Monarez was previously deputy director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) created by the Biden administration to accelerate “high-risk, high reward” biomedical research. ARPA-H is modeled after the U.S. military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
