U.S. CDC Says Flu, Covid-19, RSV Illnesses Are At Low Levels Right Now Overall In U.S., But We Expect Them To Increase In Coming Weeks; Expects Hospitalizations For Flu And Covid-19 To Start Increasing In Coming Weeks

A child in Alameda County, California is the latest case of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/41949697/bird-flu-puts-teen-in-critical-condition-as-canada-reports-first-human-case-what-you-need-to-know">bird flu in the U.S.</a> 
According to the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-11-19/alameda-county-child-believed-to-be-latest-case-of-bird-flu-source-unknown">Los Angeles Times</a>, the total case count in the U.S. stands at 54. Thirty-one cases are attributed to the dairy industry and 21 to the poultry industry. Two of the case&#8217;s causes are unknown.
Companies are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/23/03/31416800/large-vaccine-players-including-gsk-moderna-prepare-for-bird-flu-vaccine-just-in-case">racing to develop vaccines</a>, but observers worry that the incoming Trump administration&#8217;s selection of vaccine-skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services could put a potential treatment in the crosshairs.
Health researchers are exploring the idea that the virus was spread via wild birds. The California child&#8217;s genetic sequencing has not been released; it is therefore unclear if it is of wild bird or dairy origins.
Meanwhile, a teenager in Canada who was hospitalized with the bird flu possibly showed signs of mutation, the Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/19/bird-flu-cases-mutation-canada">reports</a>.
Experts are reportedly concerned that a mutation in the virus would make it easier to spread, making the odds of a widespread outbreak more likely.
Vaccine Efforts: Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) and Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) are currently developing an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/41949697/bird-flu-puts-teen-in-critical-condition-as-canada-reports-first-human-case-what-you-need-to-know">mRNA bird flu vaccine</a> using similar technology to the companies' COVID-19 vaccines.
The U.S. government has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41188886/gsk-sanofi-and-csl-secure-us-government-fund-to-boost-bird-flu-vaccine-production-report">also awarded grants</a> to European pharmaceutical giants GSK plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) and Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>).
Regulatory Question Marks: Kennedy, Donald Trump&#8217;s pick to lead the HHS, is widely known as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41822473/trumps-potential-health-czar-robert-f-kennedy-jr-rattles-vaccine-stocks-shoot-first-reaction">a vaccine-skeptic</a>. While the Kennedy family heir says he will not &#8220;take away anybody's vaccines,&#8221; his ultimate regulatory intentions are unclear. A bird flu vaccine could face additional hurdles in a Trump administration.
In the past, Kennedy has falsely associated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41993115/trump-taps-rfk-jr-for-health-secretary-role-sends-5-vaccine-stocks-lower">vaccinations with autism</a> in children, a claim that has been thoroughly disproven in the scientific field. A May Lancet <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)00850-X/fulltext">study</a> found that vaccines have saved 154 million lives throughout human history. They have effectively treated polio, measles, pertussis, and other diseases.
Kennedy may face a tough confirmation vote in the Republican-controlled Senate given his pro-choice abortion stances. He has, however, found a unique <a href="https://x.com/jaredpolis/status/1857173250586911189">ally</a> in Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat.
Pfizer, Moderna and other vaccine manufacturers&#8217; stock fell on the news of Kennedy&#8217;s selection.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Moderna

Last week, some large European and U.S. vaccine maker stocks fell in reaction to&nbsp;Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s nomination to lead the&nbsp;Department of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41993115/trump-taps-rfk-jr-for-health-secretary-role-sends-5-vaccine-stocks-lower" rel="noreferrer noopener">Health and Human Services</a>.
Including Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>), several stocks witnessed a decline as Kennedy has been known to be against vaccines and has a track record of making false claims about vaccines, including the debunked idea that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42013119/whats-going-on-with-large-european-and-us-vaccine-makers" rel="noreferrer noopener">they cause autism</a>.
Goldman Sachs hosted an investor lunch with Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel, President Stephen Hoge, and Lavina Talukdar, SVP and Head of IR, to discuss the potential impacts of the incoming government administration.
Management highlighted that, according to legislation, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is responsible for managing the department rather than creating policy.
It remains uncertain how political appointees might affect the current vaccine regulatory framework, which Moderna believes would require significant effort to alter, the analyst highlights.
The analyst highlighted that HHS Secretary nominee Robert Kennedy Jr. has previously raised concerns about vaccine safety, mainly regarding vaccines for children. However, Moderna is not creating vaccines targeted specifically for children.
Moderna&#8217;s management expressed stronger confidence in their pre-election strategy to focus on investments in oncology and rare diseases while reducing reliance on respiratory infectious diseases.
Following comments made at the recent R&amp;D Day, Moderna will keep promoting its Spikevax and mRESVIA vaccines but will prioritize securing approval for ten new products over the next three years. This strategy aims to boost sales and expand the company&#8217;s pipeline <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40834547/moderna-outlines-post-covid-roadmap-cuts-research-budget-forecasts-2025-sales-below-expectations" rel="noreferrer noopener">beyond respiratory vaccines</a>.
Goldman Sachs remarks that Moderna expects to break even at ~$6 billion in revenue and achieve that in 2028 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41854205/modernas-q3-earnings-beat-overshadowed-by-vaccine-demand-slowdown-and-market-share-concerns-analysts-warn" rel="noreferrer noopener">on a cash-cost basis</a>.
Analyst Reaction:

<li>Piper Sandler reiterates Moderna with an Overweight and lowers the price target from $115 to $69.</li>

Shares of Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) are trading lower after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/42009107/robert-kennedy-poised-to-lead-health-and-human-services-why-fda-nih-officials-are-nervous">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: Kennedy has been a vocal critic of vaccines and mainstream medical practices, raising concerns about potential reforms at federal health agencies, including the FDA and NIH. Speculation about reduced funding, department eliminations and restructuring at the NIH has created unease among employees and investors. FDA staff are reportedly considering resignations due to concerns about Kennedy's potential policies. 
Kennedy has proposed reducing the NIH's 27 divisions to 15 and replacing 600 employees, raising alarms about the future of federally funded research and its independence. Employees at the FDA and NIH are apprehensive about potential budget cuts and the politicization of research. For Moderna, this creates uncertainty about the future of vaccine development and approval processes.
Industry representatives, including the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, have expressed concerns about preserving innovation and maintaining the U.S.'s leadership in drug development. Despite the uncertainty, they indicated they may collaborate with the incoming administration to address healthcare challenges.
Why It Matters: These developments have heightened investor fears about the pharmaceutical sector, particularly vaccine developers like Moderna, which rely on federal approval processes and public trust in immunization programs.
The uncertainty surrounding federal health policies and their impact on vaccine programs is driving the sell-off in Moderna and other vaccine stocks. Shares are under pressure as investors weigh the potential for reduced government support and a more challenging regulatory environment.
MRNA Price Action: Moderna shares were down by 6.16% at $37.33 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

<ul>
<li>It is worth a reminder that The Arora Report is politically agnostic.&nbsp; Our sole job is to help our members extract the maximum amount of money out of the markets with the least possible risk.</li>
<li>The price action on the chart shows that the rip roaring Trump rally is taking a breather.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the stock market is still above the breakout line.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows that the stock market has pulled back, reflecting a loss of momentum. The stock market is still overbought.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the volume remains low.&nbsp; This indicates that institutional investors are not rushing to buy stocks.</li>
<li>Yesterday, Powell spoke that truth – the market did not like it.&nbsp; Powell said, "The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rates."&nbsp; Powell elaborated, "The strength we are currently seeing in the economy gives us the ability to approach our decisions carefully."</li>
<li>Powell's remarks brought some selling into stocks and bonds.</li>
<li>This morning, in the early trade, selling continues.</li>
<li>The reason for some selling is that the prevailing wisdom on Wall Street has been that another rate cut in December was a sure thing.&nbsp; The Arora Report has been questioning Wall Street's wisdom and sharing with you that the data does not support another rate cut.</li>
<li>Some conservative commentators are upset believing that the reason Powell started rate cuts with a 50 bps cut was to help Kamala Harris get elected.&nbsp; Now that Trump has been elected, Powell is in no hurry to cut rates.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, even though the data does not support a rate cut in December, Powell is going to feel pressure from Trump and Republicans to cut rates.&nbsp; There is also a significant amount of data between now and the December Fed meeting.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, based on a 360 degree view, including the political pressure and the pressure from Wall Street to cut rates, the probability of a rate cut in December is now about 60%.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>There is consternation about several Trump picks.&nbsp; Impacting the market most are Trump's picks of RKF Jr, Matt Gaetz, and Pete Hegseth.&nbsp; These picks are bringing selling in vaccine makers such as Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>), BioNTech SE ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>), Novavax Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>), Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), and Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in other healthcare stocks, including weight loss drug companies Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), and packaged food stocks such as The Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in defense stocks such as Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>), and Rtx Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in big tech stocks.</li>
<li>The latest economic data is strong.&nbsp; The U.S. economy is about 70% consumer based.&nbsp; For this reason, prudent investors pay attention to retail sales.&nbsp; Here are the details of the just released data:
<ul>
<li>Retail sales came at 0.4% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
<li>Retail sales ex-auto came at 0.1% vs. 0.2% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>There are hundreds of indicators.&nbsp; At The Arora Report, the system has been refined through decades of research to share with you only those indicators that matter.&nbsp; Normally, we do not mention the NY Fed Empire State Manufacturing Index.&nbsp; Today, we are mentioning it due to its exceptional strength.&nbsp; The index came at 31.2 vs. 3.3 consensus.&nbsp; This indicates that manufacturing in the New York area has picked up steam. &nbsp; If similar strength is happening in the rest of the country, that would argue against further cutting interest rates. The problem for investors is that stock valuations are so high that to sustain them, rate cuts are needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h3>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Even the slightest dips in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) are being bought.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Powell Speaks The Truth - Market Does Not Like It, Consternation About Kennedy, Gaetz, And Hegseth

Some large European and U.S. vaccine maker stocks have fallen in reaction to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s nomination to lead the&nbsp;Department of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41993115/trump-taps-rfk-jr-for-health-secretary-role-sends-5-vaccine-stocks-lower" rel="noreferrer noopener">Health and Human Services</a>.
Kennedy has been known to be against vaccines and has a track record of making false claims about vaccines, including the debunked idea that they cause autism.

Also, given his critical stance on mainstream medical practices and vaccines, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) employees are worried about Kennedy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/42009107/robert-kennedy-poised-to-lead-health-and-human-services-why-fda-nih-officials-are-nervous" rel="noreferrer noopener">being in charge</a>.

In a post on social media, Kennedy <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1857198805919138235" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>, &#8220;Together we will clean up corruption, stop the revolving door between industry and government, and return our health agencies to their rich tradition of gold-standard, evidence-based science.

Benzinga Market Summary: Vaccine Stocks Fall On Trump's Planned RFK Jr. Nomination To HHS, Applied Materials Stock Falls Following Earnings, Domino's Rises On Berkshire Hathaway Stake

Shares of vaccine stocks are trading lower After President-elect Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the HHS.

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday described vaccines as &#8220;absolutely critical&#8221; to global health, adding that many people alive today would not have survived childhood without them. This comes at after Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health Secretary.
What Happened: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a> on Friday, health stocks declined further during pre-market hours. Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) saw a 0.58% drop after closing 2.62% lower at $26.02. Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) was down by 1.56% while AstraZeneca plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) fell by 1.41%, and Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) decreased by 1.39%, having already dropped 7.02% to $7.22.
While the spokesperson for WHO did not comment on Kennedy Jr&#8217;s appointment directly, she mentioned that the U.S. is an important United Nations member and hoped the &#8220;fantastic work&#8221;&nbsp; would continue, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0lp93494g9t?post=asset%3Afdf8e84f-8eb1-45b0-9e05-4ad5adad709b#post">as</a> per BBC news.
Trump&#8217;s decision to appoint Kennedy, known for his vaccine skepticism and conspiracy theories has sparked significant attention. The move aligns with Kennedy&#8217;s recent endorsement of Trump after ending his presidential bid.

Why It Matters: The appointment of Kennedy, a prominent critic of vaccines, as Health Secretary could signal a shift in national health policies.

Kennedy&#8217;s stance on vaccines may influence future health regulations and policies.

He has consistently propagated debunked claims, including the false assertion that vaccines cause autism—a theory discredited by extensive scientific research. His nomination for HHS secretary comes amid declining vaccination rates, which have contributed to public health challenges such as 13 measles outbreaks reported in the U.S. this year.

Programs span a wide range of therapeutic areas, including infectious disease, oncology, cardiovascular disease, and rare genetic diseases.

Return on Assets (ROA): Moderna's ROA is below industry standards, pointing towards difficulties in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 0.08%, the company may encounter challenges in delivering satisfactory returns from its assets.
Debt Management: Moderna's debt-to-equity ratio is below the industry average at 0.11, reflecting a lower dependency on debt financing and a more conservative financial approach.
<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
Experts in banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their comprehensive research involves attending company conference calls and meetings, analyzing financial statements, and engaging with insiders to generate what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Demystifying Moderna: Insights From 16 Analyst Reviews

U.S. stocks could open on a negative note on Friday after the Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/41991849/powell-with-strong-us-economy-fed-has-no-need-to-be-in-a-hurry-to-lower-rates">comments on Thursday</a> that the economy is showing enough strength that there is no need to be "in a hurry" on further rate cuts just yet.
Futures of all three major indices were down as investors processed crucial inflation and economic data released over the week.
"The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rates. The strength we are currently seeing in the economy gives us the ability to approach our decisions carefully," Powell said, maintaining a wait-and-watch approach for the time being.
For now, the post-election rally in the equity markets seems to be slowing down as investors hedge their bets while booking some profits at the same time.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks ended Thursday in the red, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq falling the most.
Crude oil prices remained under the $70 mark, easing further on Friday due to fears of a slowdown in China resulting in lower demand.
Treasury yields edged up again as investors digested Powell's comments on the economy as well as rate cuts in the near future.
On the economic data front, U.S. initial jobless claims declined by 4,000 from the previous week to 217,000 in the week ending Nov. 9, compared to market estimates of 223,000.
The U.S. producer prices rose 0.2% month-over-month in October compared to a revised 0.1% gain in September, which is in line with market expectations.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with consumer discretionary, industrials, and healthcare stocks recording the biggest losses on Thursday.
However, information technology and energy stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.

Insights From Analysts:
Powell's relatively hawkish tone has investors cautious in the markets, noted ING analyst Francesco Pesole.
This could result in a correction for the dollar, which is "testing the limit" of its longs, Pesole noted, adding that traders should exercise caution for the time being.
"Powell seemed to put greater emphasis on the strength of the economy&nbsp;and how that allows the central bank to approach the upcoming policy decisions ‘carefully'."
CME Group's FedWatch tool <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">reflected</a> the fall in sentiment for another rate cut next month, with its probability declining to 62.1% from 72.2%.
Investors will also keep an eye on the retail sales data that is set to be released later today.
However, Sonu Varghese, global macro strategist at Carson Group, downplayed fears of a rebound in inflation, stating that there are "disinflationary trends" that will "likely keep a lid" on a rise in prices.
On the equity front, Varghese maintained his bullish outlook.
"Overall, economic strengths clearly outweigh areas of weakness, and the opportunities likely have a higher probability of coming to fruition than the threats. The balance favors continued strength for equities, which is why we're maintaining our overweight to stocks, especially US stocks."

Palantir, Moderna, Pfizer, Alibaba, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

President-elect Donald Trump picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his vaccine skepticism, as his nominee Thursday to lead the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41127143/us-hhs-reveal-cost-savings-for-54-prescription-drugs-including-novartis-cancer-drug-ozempic-could">Department of Health and Human Services. </a>
This move, which comes after Kennedy ended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, positions the environmental activist to potentially reshape national health policies. The selection has stirred mixed reactions, particularly from public health experts, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/14/robert-f-kennedy-jr-trump-hhs-secretary-pick-00188617">Politico</a> reports.
&#8220;For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health,&#8221; Trump said in a tweet announcing the decision. 
As Benzinga reported earlier this month, Kennedy has a history of spreading falsehoods about vaccines, including that they cause autism, a theory disproven by scientific studies. His selection as the nominee for HHS secretary comes against a backdrop of falling vaccination rates, which coincide with, in one example, 13 measles outbreaks in the U.S. so far this year. 
What Happened: Trump's decision is part of a broader promise to "let Kennedy go wild" with health and food policies, aiming to overhaul the HHS. Kennedy has expressed sharp criticisms of several health agencies.
Kennedy had hinted at the potential role of "health czar" in Trump&#8217;s administration. If he is confirmed, Kennedy's appointment could influence vaccine policy and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41822473/trumps-potential-health-czar-robert-f-kennedy-jr-rattles-vaccine-stocks-shoot-first-reaction">direction of the CDC, FDA, and NIH.</a>
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/11/41977313/will-trumps-election-win-push-sp-500-even-higher-in-final-weeks-of-2024-over-75-say">Will Trump&#8217;s Election Win Push S&amp;P 500 Even Higher In Final Weeks Of 2024? Over 75% Say&#8230;</a>
Kennedy's prospective role has already affected vaccine manufacturer stocks. Major vaccine-related companies saw declines in stock prices on Thursday due to the uncertainty surrounding Kennedy&#8217;s influence on health policy.
Key companies impacted include:
<ul>
<li>Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) down 5.62% to $39.77.</li>
<li>Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) down 2.62% to $26.02.</li>
<li>Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) down 0.89% to $151.87.</li>
<li>AstraZeneca plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) down 0.38% to $65.04.</li>
<li>Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) down 7.02% to $7.22.</li>
</ul>
Why It Matters: Kennedy's views on vaccines and health oversight agencies stand in stark contrast to established medical consensus. His appointment could alter public health directives, with some analysts predicting potential shifts in FDA regulatory independence and vaccine guidelines. 
The impact may extend beyond policy, shaping public trust in health systems amid ongoing debates over vaccine safety.
Kennedy, while indicating he has no plans to "take away anybody's vaccines," continues to be a polarizing figure. Vaccine-related stocks may experience ongoing volatility as the Trump administration finalizes its health policy agenda.
