Appointment of RFK Jr as the US Health Secretary and a Book Review Of “The Real Anthony Fauci”
- In this insight, we provide some of the main highlights of the book “The Real Anthony Fauci”, which was written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr) in 2021.
- We discuss how the appointment of RFK Jr could impact some of the major health care stocks in Korea, especially those that are involved in developing and producing vaccines.
- Although the share prices of many Korean vaccines related stocks have declined materially in the past 2-3 years, RFK Jr becoming the next US Health Secretary could pose further headwinds.
