Health stocks hit after Trump taps RFK Jr for top job​

Shares in vaccine makers and healthcare firms around the world slid sharply on Friday, as investors warned that Donald Trump's choice of Robert F Kennedy Jr as US Health Secretary could pose new challenges to the sector.

Kennedy is known as a vaccine sceptic and, if confirmed in the post, has vowed to use it to crack down on “Big Pharma”.

The news prompted a sell-off across the industry. In the US, shares in Pfizer sank more than 4% and Moderna about 7% while UK-listed firms AstraZeneca and GSK dropped more than 3%.

Previous to this pick, stocks in the green energy market (solar and wind) took big hits as well. FSLR, (the premium solar energy company) went from $233 to $171 (27% drop in price) the day after Trump was announced as the winner. VWDRY (a wind energy company) went from $6.50 to $4.60 (30% drop in price) over the next week after the announcement was made.

Healthcare and clean energy are the future of this country and the drops in price suggest that in those areas, Trump is not seen as a plus but as a minus

Bullshit

Bullshit? Are you blind by any chance. This is not an opinion statement but a factual one. These stocks have ALL dropped severely in price the day after the election. What other thing (other than Trump being elected) could have caused the ALL to drop.

Are you saying that facts are bullshit?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has attracted attention from various groups and individuals who express skepticism about vaccines. These include:

1. Anti-vaccine Activist Groups: Organizations like the Vaccine Truth Movement and the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) advocate against mandatory vaccination policies and promote alternative health practices.

2. Parent Advocacy Groups: Many parents who believe their children have been adversely affected by vaccines often rally around RFK Jr. They seek more transparency regarding vaccine safety and efficacy.

3. Alternative Medicine Communities: Practitioners and advocates of alternative medicine often align with vaccine skepticism, emphasizing holistic health approaches over conventional medical practices.

4. Libertarian and Conservative Circles: Some individuals in these political groups oppose government mandates, including vaccination requirements, viewing them as an infringement on personal freedoms.

5. Prominent Figures: Celebrities and public figures, such as actors and athletes who have publicly voiced vaccine skepticism, have also shown support for Kennedy’s views.

6. Online Communities and Social Media Influencers: Numerous online platforms host discussions and promote anti-vaccine narratives, amplifying RFK Jr.'s stance and connecting like-minded individuals.

These groups often share a common belief in questioning the pharmaceutical industry and advocating for parental choice in medical decisions, contributing to RFK Jr.’s support base.

Sometimes I called him JFK jr because he looks kinda like JFK.

"Shares in industry that makes money off sick people drop."

Let's get it right for the sake of truth. Shares in an industry that creates medicines that help sick people get better and/or prevent sickness. Is that wrong?

Would you prefer they not be around?

That's their secondary motive. For the sake of truth their PRIMARY goal as a company is to generate profit.

They're the future and at a bargain price ... How about you invest all your money in the plummeting stocks ...
And put your money where your mouth is while saving us all from our doom.

Stop expecting other people to risk or lose money on your Ponzi Schemes ...

Big Pharma is nervous. Not sure why this would be considered bad by people who have complained about corporate power and malfeasance for decades.

I do not care about the company's personal profit benefits. I care about the products they produce. If they are harmed by what Trump is doing and that prevents them from making their products available to our use, then it is WE that are harmed as well.

I believe clean energy and health are important issues to all of us. Anything that harms us getting those benefits is bad. I could give a shit if they make and extra buck or two. Aren't we a Capitalistic society?

You want Pharma and Clean energy gone?
