It’s unclear precisely how Oren-Pines was vetted. He is a specialist in mobile phone technology, with no apparent experience in government contracting or medical devices, Buzzfeed found.
He was one of thousands of people who, on March 27, replied to a tweet from President Trump urging Ford and General Motors to “START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!”
“We can supply ICU Ventilators, invasive and noninvasive. Have someone call me URGENT,” Oren-Pines had responded.
An unnamed state official told Buzzfeed that he came recommended by the White House coronavirus task force. One thing is certain, this mobile phone technician was clever enough to send a one-sentence message to an excessively stupid President.
New York is still trying to get the rest of its money back.
