Donald Trump has appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his Secretary of Health and Human Services, causing significant drops in stock prices for major drug companies. Kennedy, known for his vaccine skepticism, aims to reform U.S. health policy. Kennedy's plan includes shifting focus from reactive to preventive healthcare, promoting nutrition and exercise over pharmaceuticals. He also intends to ban harmful food ingredients and remove fluoride from drinking water, citing health concerns. If confirmed by the Senate, Kennedy plans to overhaul health agencies, increase funding for alternative therapies, and expand healthcare savings accounts.
