May 10, 2018 – Top White House official in charge of pandemic response exits abruptly

The top White House official responsible for leading the U.S. response in the event of a deadly pandemic has left the administration, and the global health security team he oversaw has been disbanded under a reorganization by national security adviser John Bolton.

The abrupt departure of Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer from the National Security Council means no senior administration official is now focused solely on global health security. Ziemer’s departure, along with the breakup of his team, comes at a time when many experts say the country is already underprepared for the increasing risks of a pandemic or bioterrorism attack.

Ziemer’s last day was Tuesday, the same day a new Ebola outbreak was declared in Congo. He is not being replaced.

Pandemic preparedness and global health security are issues that require government-wide responses, experts say, as well as the leadership of a high-ranking official within the White House who is assigned only this role.

“Health security is very fragmented, with many different agencies,” said J. Stephen Morrison, senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “It means coordination and direction from the White House is terribly important. ”

The personnel changes, which Morrison and others characterize as a downgrading of global health security, are part of Bolton’s previously announced plans to streamline the NSC. Two members of Ziemer’s team have been merged into a unit in charge of weapons of mass destruction, and another official’s position is now part of a unit responsible for international organizations. White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert, who had called for a comprehensive biodefense strategy against pandemics and biological attacks, is out completely. He left the day after Bolton took over last month.

NSC spokesman Robert Palladino said Wednesday the administration “remains committed to global health, global health security and biodefense, and will continue to address these issues with the same resolve under the new structure.”

Another administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly, acknowledged it was only one of many administration priorities. “In a world of limited resources, you have to pick and choose,” he said. “We lost a little bit of the leadership, but the expertise remains.”

Ziemer is a well-respected public health leader who was considered highly effective leading the President’s Malaria Initiative under George W. Bush and Barack Obama before joining the NSC last year. While Palladino said he left “on the warmest terms,” an individual familiar with the specifics behind the reorganization said “he was basically pushed out. He struggled to preserve himself and the integrity of his team, and he failed.”

His exit comes against the backdrop of other administration actions critics say have weakened health security preparedness, including dwindling financing for early preventive action against infectious disease threats abroad.

The new Ebola outbreak is in northwest Congo. Only two cases have been confirmed, but the World Health Organization reported Thursday another 30 probable and suspected cases of the deadly hemorrhagic fever. Of those, 18 already have died.

Congolese and international health officials say they hope to control the outbreak quickly, but some health officials worry about its potential to become more serious and spread because of its location in a town upriver from the densely populated capital of Kinshasa.

This week, the administration released a list of $15 billion in spending cuts it wants Congress to approve. Among the targets is $252 million in unused funds remaining from the 2014-2015 Ebola epidemic in West Africa that killed more than 11,000 people, far exceeding the combined total cases reported in about 20 previous outbreaks since the 1970s.

The White House proposal “is threatening to claw back funding whose precise purpose is to help the United States be able to respond quickly in the event of a crisis,” said Carolyn Reynolds, a vice president at PATH, a global health technology nonprofit.

Collectively, warns Jeremy Konyndyk, who led foreign disaster assistance at the U.S. Agency for International Development during the Obama administration, “What this all adds up to is a potentially really concerning rollback of progress on U.S. health security preparedness.”

“It seems to actively unlearn the lessons we learned through very hard experience over the last 15 years,” said Konyndyk, now a senior policy fellow at the Center for Global Development. “These moves make us materially less safe. It’s inexplicable.”

The day before news of Ziemer’s exit became public, one of the officials on his team, Luciana Borio, director of medical and biodefense preparedness at the NSC, spoke at a symposium at Emory University to mark the 100th anniversary of the 1918 influenza pandemic. That event killed an estimated 50 million to 100 million people worldwide.

So, our nation’s specialized group specifically focused on identifying and coordinating early responses to emerging global health threats and bio-terrorism was disbanded and never replaced. That was nearly two years ago. Instead, we have VP Pence, designated as coronavirus response coordinator two weeks back.

@Deplorable Me: If you read what I told Kitt you’d see I give Trump no blame or credit for stock mkt advance or decline.
See #51 sentence one for ref.

@Deplorable Me: An article almost 2 years old that admits quote“We lost a little bit of the leadership, but the expertise remains.” HEY GREG but the expertise remains
Get your head out of the bashing propaganda and read carefully your own reference.
Again quote: He struggled to preserve himself.
This administration struggled in the beginning against central control not allowing private and state labs to preform testing. It needed to be streamlined, the experts on the team now seem to be confident in the way things are being expedited.
Im sure the propaganda leaders will find another way to bash and Greg will be happy to spread it.

@Richard Wheeler: I’ve asked some pretty simple questions… any honest answers?

@Richard Wheeler: We did not ask you about the market not one question.
1. What fiddling can you be more informative.
2 Are you yourself prepared with 2 to 5 weeks of food if there is a lock down and the idgits controlling your state screw up the supply chain.
If you are not prepared after a gazillion dollars has been spent on government ads to be prepared have a plan. Maybe that is why you are scared of by the media propaganda and repeating goofy talking points of the talking heads about the Kung Flu, not Kung Fu virus. You cant even get my written things correct.

The airport crowds look like a classic example of the perils of unintended consequences. People from viral hot zones are being brought together in close proximity who will then be spreading out to destinations all over the nation.

Like that has not always been the case?

A sudden mass exodus of Americans who were abroad back to the United States is not at all normal, nor is holding them together in close proximity to one another for hours on end. There should have been temperature screening to identify potentially infected passengers during the return flights. That would have greatly lessened the processing time at their points of arrival and diminished the overall risk of transmission by reducing the crowds waiting for screening in the airports. It would have been a more effective protocol.

@Greg:

Oh, so now it’s DOCTOR Comrade Greggie?

A sudden mass exodus of Americans who were abroad back to the United States is not at all normal,

It is absolutely normal during times of extreme danger in the nation they’re in.

nor is holding them together in close proximity to one another for hours on end.

Chances are if they were in Italy, or one of the other “hot spots” for the pandemic, they have already been exposed to coronavirus. I guess you think an airplane is not putting people in close proximity.

There should have been temperature screening to identify potentially infected passengers during the return flights.

And you know they were not how? Do you know what procedures all foreign nations have implemented? The TSA doesn’t run the airports in Milan.

That would have greatly lessened the processing time at their points of arrival and diminished the overall risk of transmission by reducing the crowds waiting for screening in the airports. It would have been a more effective protocol.

I believe that anyone returning from a foreign nation, especially Italy, will be quarantined for the same length of time as were those Americans who were brought back from China and quarantined on U.S. military bases.

Odd, not one word from you how your side of the aisle became apoplectic when President Trump shut down flights from China and now other nations. Your left wing news sources (along with some Dem politicans) called that action “xenophobic.” It has proved to have been the right thing to do.

@Deplorable Me: Rumor has it you are quite right.
Those in the military are being briefed of different possibilities.

@Deplorable Me: if you really want to know, check Trump’s investments and see if he repositioned since the covid economic crises. See and let me know why he talks money more then dead people, go to the NYC hospitals and mingle with the workers and dead bodies. Tell them to take vitamins and that will cure covid. You are criminals since though covering for the crimes/ makes you complicit. Back to cover up all the Russian collusion/ and yes it was there but Trump did not answer the questions/ mostly blanks and I do not remember. and the Ukraine bribe/ how interested is trump in finding out about corruption abroad, after that failed he let go, no more corrupt men in the world for him to bribe other countries about and not the biggest, he know of this Covid perhaps since Dec 2019, and science was not enough to go on. He was looking at re election and not saving Americans, Had he used his brain, seeing the virus spreading so many places, you know preventive action. Shame on you who are blind. You all have dirty hands for the Americans in excess we lost, how ever many they are. Anyway it fits the Republicans agenda, more poor and not white are facing death and illness. And you Republicans never pull for those. @another vet:
