My Take
Azar is one of those figures whose résumé reads like a map of American power: Dartmouth, law, pharmaceuticals, lobbying, and finally Secretary of Health and Human Services. I find him fascinating less for any single decision than for where he stood in history, chairing the early White House Coronavirus Task Force during those chaotic opening weeks of 2020 before being replaced. Whatever one thinks of his politics, holding the top health post during the run-up to a pandemic is an unenviable burden. To me he embodies the technocratic insider, sharp and credentialed, navigating the messy intersection of business and public health.
