The Trump administration's new Vaccine Czar, appointed to lead the ridiculously named Operation Warp Speed that would include the equally ridiculous notion of deploying a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine using the military, has accepted the position as an independent contractor. 

As a contractor, Moncef Slaoui is not subject to laws that would require disclosure of of positions, holdings, and other circumstances that would present a conflict of interest.

Don't worry, the HHS ethics office has cleared him.
