President Trump has posted a new announcement on Truth Social, the social media platform. He wrote:
“Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS! President DJT”
How Will Trump’s Statement Affect the Stock Market?
This latest post has the potential to affect the stock market. That’s because Donald Trump’s social media post advising against the use of Tylenol and suggesting modifications to vaccine schedules could lead to increased volatility in the stock prices of pharmaceutical companies like Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Company, and Pfizer Inc. Investors may react to potential shifts in consumer behavior and regulatory scrutiny, impacting the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund, Vanguard Health Care ETF, and iShares Biotechnology ETF. The market may experience fluctuations as stakeholders assess the implications of these statements on public health policies and pharmaceutical sales.
Here are some of the stocks that might be affected:
Johnson & Johnson ((JNJ)),
Merck & Company ((MRK)),
Pfizer Inc ((PFE)),
Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund ((XLV)),
Vanguard Health Care ETF ((VHT)),
iShares Biotechnology ETF ((IBB)).
