Secretary Kennedy stating the facts that many medical institutions are not transparent It’s no secret that many of our institutions of science and medicine are no longer transparent. As a consequence they become inefficient dysfunctional or corrupt and fallen captive to the profit-making industries and stagnated bureaucratic secrecy, siloing and lost touch with ordinary citizens. But here’s the Paradox a lot of Crusaders need to understand: Most of the people who work in these institutions and agencies and organizations are competent ethical and caring and idealistic. I think that’s especially true at HHS. These are the smartest people in the world and yet they’re not receiving much money. They’re very low paid compared to people who are using high IQs to acquire things and to acquire status and money; that means they must have been motivated by something higher something more idealistic and I still think, I still believe that today. I believe that most of you here are not here for the money; you don’t enter in public service to get rich. That’s for sure on a basic level. I trust the idealism of most people who work in HHS. I also understand the corrosive power of money as it infiltrates and captures institutions like ours. Michael is the secretary here at HHS, he will create a culture of competency of ethics, of openness of transparency, of caring a pride of an individuals who share these ideas and flourish and thrive.
