RFK Jr. is a threat to public health, but elites gambling with healthcare on the stock market is also a threat to public health.
NBC NEWS – Vaccine maker stocks fall as Trump chooses RFK Jr. to lead HHS The stocks fell in the final hour of trading as reports emerged about Trump’s expected pick. Nov. 14, 2024, 5:00 PM EST / Source: CNBC By Annika Kim Constantino, CNBC The stocks fell in the final hour of trading as reports emerged about Trump’s expected pick. Moderna’s stock closed more than 5% lower on Thursday, shares of Novavax fell more than 7% and Pfizer’s stock ended more than 2% lower.
That includes treating Novavax as a memestock and doing the kind of harmful promotion and undermining that’s gone on because of it.
Making Novavax into a memestock is a threat to public health. All 3 vaccines approved in the U.S., from Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax, are basically in the same ballpark with efficacy. Nov 11, 2024 Chloe Humbert Often people will hype the shit out of anything that is rosy about a particular stock and I suspect there are troll farms and probably botnets paid to do so, because that’s what people do nowadays in the information landscape and the internet of fakes. Many overly rosy posts about Novavax on social media include the stock symbol which is kind of a giveaway! There’s substantial money involved. Novavax is one of the most shorted stocks too. So there’s plenty of interest in manipulating online conversations and creating controversy about the product, in order to manipulate the perceptions, the automated systems monitoring social media for stock signals, and people trying to influence the stock market. I’m concerned some could be trying to orchestrate something akin to a pump & dump scheme. That would be really bad because it would mean that the volatility could harm the company. There may be people with some interest in just that, to see the company fail — the people shorting the stock.
