Before his nomination, Kennedy outlined the overarching to-do list for his "Make America Healthy Again" platform in a November 6 post on X. Along with a promise to "clean up corruption" in federal health agencies, he said he’s been tapped by Trump to end the chronic disease epidemic. And he’s vowed to go after the processed food industry and Big Pharma to make healthy eating front and center for Americans.
Kennedy tore into Ozempic-maker Novo Nordisk in a September 26 X post, pointing to his plan to address a "sick food system" rather than "gladden the wallets of distant Big Pharma execs." (Novo's stock dropped more than 4% following the news of Kennedy's nomination.)
His likely appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the weight-loss industry, as long-lasting shortages of drugs like Ozempic come to an end. Kennedy’s proposed policies could reorient market dynamics in the weight-loss sector.
