It's being reported that vaccine stocks have taken a tumble with the announcement of JFK Jr's nomination. Maybe he'll help improve vaccine scepticism and the US will go back to the good old days of most people getting measles, with the knock-on effect of added measles bonuses for other countries too. Scepticism and decreased uptake of other vaccines would be great too.
Even JFK Jr's own sister doesn't think he's the right choice. There's an interview with her in the link, and it sounds as if she has the same medical issue as her brother, causing a broken voice.
“I think this is an extraordinarily bad choice,” Dr. Ashish Jha, a former Biden administration Covid-19 coordinator and the dean of Brown University’s School of Public Health, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. Previous HHS secretaries in both Republican and Democratic administrations have allowed scientists in agencies under their oversight to make determinations, Jha said. “RFK Jr. has given us all the signals that he does not plan to do that, he does not plan to lean on evidence and rigorous analysis to make decisions but instead to use his own ideas.”
Another health expert and former US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acting director condemned the pick. “Frankly, I find it chilling,” said Dr. Richard Besser. Besser, who practiced pediatrics, warned that Kennedy’s views on child vaccines were dangerous, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “He has done so much to undermine the confidence that people have in that incredible intervention.”
Kennedy’s selection was made public on the same day that the World Health Organization and the CDC — an agency that would be under RFK Jr.’s purview — said global measles cases surged by more than 20% to an estimated 10.3 million last year.
