SF's New Health Director: McKinsey Background Sparks Debate

San Francisco's newly appointed Health Director, Mr. Tsai, a McKinsey alum, has sparked debate. Concerns have arisen regarding his past involvement in drug distribution systems, given the city's opioid crisis. While Tsai expressed commitment to data-driven solutions and collaboration to address opioid and homelessness issues, his appointment raises questions about potential conflicts of interest and his ability to effectively tackle these challenges. Some see a potential irony in his past work potentially contributing to the current crisis and now tasked with resolving it.
