New SF public health chief was part of notorious McKinsey opioid-marketing operation

Amusing, to the extent that corruption can be.

Daniel Tsai, Mayor Daniel Lurie’s choice to lead the Department of Public Health, has a blue-chip résumé: After studying at Harvard University, he landed a prestigious consulting gig before jumping into government, leading Medicaid programs in Massachusetts, then federally under former President Joe Biden.

Along the way, Tsai, in his capacity as an employee with McKinsey & Company, helped to market a powerful painkiller called tramadol during the company’s years-long streak of pushing opioid sales. The company’s actions ultimately led to a criminal probe, more than $1 billion in settlements, and a public mea culpa over its role in fueling an overdose epidemic that has killed more than 500,000 Americans over 25 years.

“Just like [Tsai] distributed the drugs, maybe he can distribute the solution to the drugs,” Beal said. “Hopefully, he can use the knowledge he has from helping to create the monster to figure out how to solve it.”

I guess it’s only amusing if you don’t care about Real, not virtual conversational, Human Costs of Deadly Drs’ ( exogenous & synthetic/manmade Fentanyl opioid ) Rx & secondary recreational addictions & overdose fatalities perpetuated by these greedy giddy grinning govt wolves-in-sheep’s-clothing sociopaths living high-on-the-hog like leeches on the backs of TaxPayers.*

Feel FREE to come out & ProTest, with us Sat 19 April, against #46/@DanielLurie’s overpaid* minion Dan Tsai [ *Salaried @ $195,648/year, which is significantly higher than the national average for a Director position ].
