How can we be certain that this is a planned corporate media advertising campaign? how quickly the hit pieces emerged following the announcement, suggesting they were pre-written and b. ) the through-lines between them, suggesting talking details handed down from on high.

They start with the typical “anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist” smear before moving on to quote an NGO because they give the impression that NGOs are legitimate and impartial, not the directly involved parties who sponsor them, but also the industry actors themselves, plus a quote from an obscure professor, who is perhaps indirectly on the payroll of the industry thanks to grants.
This is not “news,” but it is market public relations done as news, supported and supported by the legacy media, which makes a lot of money from pharmaceutical advertising.
It’s a nasty activity, people, but this is why being media-literate, as most of this market is, serves as an vaccination to the advertising.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine advocate who has supported a number of other falsified health-related conspiracy theories, has received widespread criticism for his election as US secretary of health and individual providers.
In response to Kennedy’s election, Public Citizen, a liberal nonprofit organization focusing on customer campaigning, said:” Robert F Kennedy Jr is a clear and present danger to the nation’s wellbeing. He should n’t be permitted to work for the department of health and human services ( HHS), let alone be in charge of the country’s public health agency.
Apu Akkad, an infectious disease physician at the University of Southern California, called the news a “scary time for people health”.

After Donald Trump announced his choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the Department of Health and Human Services minister, stock of renowned vaccine manufacturers fell on Thursday.
An hour before the market closed Thursday, as news reports of Trump’s choice began trickling out, Covid-19 vaccine manufacturer Moderna dipped as much as 6 %, and Pfizer fell almost 2 %. Novavax, which created a protein-based Covid-19 vaccine, fell about 6 %.
Kennedy has long been one of the most well-known anti-vaccine plot scientists in the country, and he has often made up lies about vaccine safety and effectiveness. Last year, Kennedy said he would “immediately” started studying immunization safety and efficacy but promised to no “take vaccines apart from anybody”.
Another vaccine-related firms even felt the consequences. European BioNTech, a division of Deutsche GSK, and British GSK, both experienced a 2 % decline. Due to a decline in demand since the pandemic’s height, US vaccination manufacturers have already been experiencing difficulties. Pfizer stock has fallen 11 % and Moderna stock has fallen 46 % over the past year.

I want to repeat my personal opinion that Trump did have failed to do his job correctly if these Big Pharma executives are able to elude a Trump presidency with only falling stock prices as a result of decades of wrongdoing.
There need to be speedy and merciless prosecutions of these people, examples must be made, heads ( proverbially speaking ) must roll.
