Downbeat August Jobs Data Puts Focus on These Sector ETFs

August jobs data show healthcare gains lifting XLV, while manufacturing weakness drags on XLI.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign pollster reportedly briefed Republican congressional staff on Wednesday about survey results showing strong bipartisan support for routine childhood vaccines, even among Trump supporters.The Fabrizio Ward poll found deep partisan divisions over COVID-19 shots, but broad backing for measles and hepatitis B immunizations, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-04/trump-pollster-briefed-republicans-on-support-for-vaccines">reported</a>, citing people familiar with the meeting.&nbsp;Just 22% of surveyed Trump voters said the COVID-19 vaccine was important, compared with 77% for measles and 69% for hepatitis B. By contrast, at least 90% of Kamala Harris supporters backed all three vaccines.&nbsp;The national poll of 1,000 voters, dated Aug. 26, did not specify its sponsor.The briefing came one day before Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/cdc-turmoil-escalates-kennedy-to-testify-in-senate-after-director-fired-senior-officials-quit/chtRCdURdZ4">scheduled to testify</a> before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday on Trump’s healthcare agenda.&nbsp;Chairman Mike Crapo said the hearing will review the department’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiatives to date and future plans.Kennedy faces mounting criticism over his overhaul of federal vaccine policy, including the firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez and dismissal of the entire CDC vaccine advisory panel.&nbsp;More than 20 medical groups and over 1,000 current and former HHS employees have called on him to resign, while California, Oregon and Washington have formed a new health alliance to issue independent vaccine recommendations.&nbsp;He is now apparently weighing seven new members for the reconstituted CDC vaccine panel, which is expected to vote on hepatitis B and other shots later this month.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV) was described as ‘extremely bearish’ with ‘low’ message volume, while sentiment for the iShares Global Healthcare ETF (IXJ) was ‘neutral’ with ‘normal’ message volume.So far this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XLV">XLV</a> is up 0.4% while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IXJ">IXJ</a> has gained 2.8%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Trump Pollster Quietly Tells Republicans: Voters Still Trust Childhood Vaccines, Doubt COVID Shots

The Fabrizio Ward survey of 1,000 voters found 77% of Trump supporters back measles shots and 69% support hepatitis B, while at least 90% of Kamala Harris voters backed all three vaccines.

Equity

More than 20 health groups and medical associations urged U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to resign on Wednesday, warning that his sweeping changes to vaccine policy and recent moves at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) threaten decades of medical progress.The joint statement followed criticism from multiple former CDC directors under both Republican and Democratic administrations, who said Kennedy’s actions, which culminated in&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/cdc-chief-susan-monarez-pushed-out-after-weeks-on-job-as-rfk-jr-overhauls-agency-she-s-fighting-back/chsCsP4Rdli">last week’s firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez</a>, are putting public health at risk, Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/medical-groups-call-us-health-secretary-kennedy-step-down-2025-09-03/">reported</a>.“Our country needs leadership that will promote open, honest dialogue, not disregard decades of lifesaving science, spread misinformation, reverse medical progress and decimate programs that keep us safe,” the groups said. “We are gravely concerned that American people will needlessly suffer and die as a result of policies that turn away from sound interventions.”The letter was signed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma &amp; Immunology, the American Public Health Association and the American Association of Immunologists.&nbsp;Over 1,000 current and former employees of the Health and Human Services Department sent an open letter demanding that Kennedy either resign or be fired.State-Level ResponsesAmid the federal shake-up, states have&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/california-oregon-washington-form-health-alliance-amid-federal-vaccine-tensions-2025-09-03/">begun to chart their own paths</a> on immunization policy. California, Oregon and Washington on Wednesday announced the formation of the West Coast Health Alliance, which will issue unified vaccine recommendations guided by national medical associations, even if they diverge from federal guidance.An alternative standard to the one set by the federal government could cause confusion among providers and patients, health experts warned, but state officials said they acted to prevent disruption to fall vaccination campaigns.&nbsp;Erica Pan, California’s state public health officer, said, “The dismantling of public health and dismissal of experienced and respected health leaders and advisors, along with the lack of using science, data and evidence to improve our nation’s health, are placing lives at risk.”Meanwhile, Florida announced plans to end all state vaccine mandates, including requirements for schoolchildren, marking another sign of growing divisions over immunization policy across the country.A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services sought to reassure providers, saying: “ACIP remains the scientific body guiding immunization recommendations in this country, and HHS will ensure policy is based on rigorous evidence and Gold Standard Science, not the failed politics of the pandemic.”Policy Overhaul And FiringsSince taking office, Kennedy has withdrawn federal recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination in pregnant women and healthy children, and in June, he dismissed all 17 members of the CDC’s expert vaccine advisory panel, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), replacing them with hand-picked advisers, including fellow vaccine skeptics. The move raised concerns over compromising the panel’s independence.Monarez, who was sworn in less than a month before her dismissal, said through a spokesperson that she was asked to rubber-stamp policy changes and resisted. Her firing triggered the resignation of four top CDC officials, citing pressure to support anti-vaccine positions advanced by Kennedy.In a social media post on Wednesday, Kennedy defended his decisions, saying his mission was “to restore the CDC’s focus on infectious disease” and “rebuild trust through transparency and competence.”New ACIP PanelKennedy has reportedly selected seven new members for the ACIP, which advises on vaccine use after FDA approval and whose recommendations shape insurance coverage, Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/kennedy-picks-seven-new-members-us-cdc-vaccine-panel-document-shows-2025-09-04/">reported</a>, citing an internal CDC document.Among the names listed is Raymond Pollak, a semi-retired transplant surgeon with a background in immunology, who confirmed he is under consideration. Others include Joseph Fraiman, an emergency medicine specialist; John Gaitanis, a pediatric neurologist; Catherine Stein, an epidemiology professor; Hillary Blackburn, a pharmacist; Evelyn Griffin, an obstetrician-gynecologist; and Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist.The group is expected to convene on Sept. 18, with votes scheduled on vaccines for hepatitis B, measles-mumps-rubella-varicella, and respiratory syncytial virus, according to the Federal Register.&nbsp;Normally, the CDC director has final approval of ACIP recommendations, but Monarez’s removal leaves that process uncertain.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV) was described as ‘extremely bearish’ with ‘low’ message volume, while sentiment for the iShares Global Healthcare ETF (IXJ) was ‘neutral’ with ‘normal’ message volume.So far this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XLV">XLV</a> is up 0.4% while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IXJ">IXJ</a> has gained 2.8%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

CDC In Crisis: Kennedy Pressured To Quit As States Revolt Over Vaccine Board Shake-Up

Medical groups and more than 1,000 health officials have urged Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to resign, warning his vaccine policies are putting public health at risk. 

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will appear before the Senate Finance Committee on Sept. 4 to discuss U.S. President Donald Trump’s healthcare agenda.Chairman Mike Crapo said the hearing will focus on “the Department of Health and Human Services’ Make America Healthy Again actions to date and plans moving forward,” Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/kennedy-testify-before-senate-panel-health-agenda-2025-08-28/">reported</a>.The session comes after the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/cdc-chief-susan-monarez-pushed-out-after-weeks-on-job-as-rfk-jr-overhauls-agency-she-s-fighting-back/chsCsP4Rdli">White House dismissed CDC Director Susan Monarez</a> on Wednesday, less than a month into her tenure. An associate said Monarez was fired after resisting vaccine policy changes advanced by Kennedy that she believed contradicted scientific evidence.&nbsp;Hours later, three senior officials — Chief Medical Officer Debra Houry, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Director Demetre Daskalakis, and National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Director Daniel Jernigan — resigned and were&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/fired-cdc-director-clashed-with-kennedy-on-vaccine-policy-2025-08-28/">reportedly</a> escorted from the Atlanta campus.&nbsp;CDC staff, many wearing green shirts and ribbons as a sign of support, applauded them as they departed.Richard Besser, former acting CDC director, said Monarez told him she would not take any action that was illegal or “flew in the face of science,” and she refused to dismiss her leadership team without cause.&nbsp;The three departing officials said they resigned over anti-vaccine policies and misinformation promoted by Kennedy and his team. Daskalakis said, “I’m a doctor. I took the Hippocratic oath that said, ‘First, do no harm.’ I believe harm is going to happen, and so I can’t be a part of it.”Since taking office this year, Kennedy has fired the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel and replaced it with anti-vaccine activists and other advisers.&nbsp;He has made false claims about vaccines and launched an investigation into autism rates that he has linked, without evidence, to “environmental toxins.”&nbsp;The CDC has since dropped its recommendation that pregnant women be vaccinated against COVID and narrowed its guidance for children with health complications.White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Monarez was dismissed because she did not align with the president’s mission. “She said she would [resign], and then she said she wouldn’t, so the president fired her,” Leavitt said.&nbsp;Kennedy declined to comment on the specifics of the departures but told&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/rfk-jr-warns-cdc-in-trouble-promises-fixes-director-refuses-step-down">Fox News</a>, “The agency is in trouble, and we need to fix it and we are fixing it. And it may be that some people should not be working there anymore.”&nbsp;Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O’Neill was named interim director of the CDC.Monarez’s dismissal is one of several recent moves by Trump to remove Senate-confirmed officials, including Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and Surface Transportation Board member Robert Primus.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bearish’ with ‘low’ message volume for both the iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB) and the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV).While&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XLV">XLV</a> has been flat so far in 2025,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IBB">IBB</a> has risen 4.6% over the same period.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

CDC Turmoil Escalates: Kennedy To Testify In Senate After Director Fired, Senior Officials Quit

The White House's move to oust Susan Monarez and the wave of senior CDC resignations have spotlighted deep divisions over vaccine policy and raised fresh questions about the administration’s healthcare agenda.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez has left the agency less than a month after being sworn in, amid the resignation of four senior officials&nbsp;who also resigned over vaccine policy tensions.Monarez’s attorneys said she is challenging her ouster, accusing HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of targeting her for rejecting “unscientific directives,” Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-cdc-chief-exits-after-weeks-role-three-top-officials-resign-2025-08-27/">reported</a>.&nbsp;“Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor received notification from the White House that she has been fired, and as a person of integrity and devoted to science, she will not resign,” lawyers Mark S. Zaid and Abbe David Lowell said.The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' account on X shared a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/HHSGov/status/1960818490614415869">post</a> about Monarez's exit, saying: "We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people. @SecKennedy has full confidence in his team at @CDCgov who will continue to be vigilant in protecting Americans against infectious diseases at home and abroad."CDC Chief Medical Officer Debra Houry and Immunization Center Director Demetre Daskalakis have resigned, citing the rise in health misinformation, attacks on science, and budget cuts.&nbsp;Infectious Diseases Director Daniel Jernigan and Public Health Data Director Jen Layden also stepped down. Houry wrote that overstated risks and misinformation have fueled record measles cases and even a violent attack on the CDC.The White House’s 2026 budget proposed cutting CDC funding by $3.6 billion, while Kennedy had already eliminated 2,400 jobs and rehired 700. Daskalakis said he could not serve amid the “ongoing weaponizing of public health.”The CDC has faced mounting strain under Kennedy, including a shooting at its Atlanta headquarters. Former CDC official Fiona Havers called the latest resignations “devastating,” saying the departed leaders had shielded scientists from political attacks.Kennedy has rolled back vaccine policies, withdrawing COVID shot recommendations for children and pregnant women, and firing all members of the CDC vaccine advisory panel in June, replacing them with hand-picked advisers, including vaccine skeptics.&nbsp;On Wednesday, he announced further changes to COVID-19 vaccine eligibility and stated that autism policy announcements are expected in September.Monarez, a federal scientist, was confirmed on July 29 after being nominated by U.S. President Trump and sworn in by Kennedy on July 31. She succeeded Trump’s withdrawn pick, former congressman and vaccine critic Dave Weldon.&nbsp;On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was bearish for both the iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB) with normal message volume, and the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV) with low message volume.So far this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IBB">IBB</a> has gained 4.9%, while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XLV">XLV</a> has increased by 0.4%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

CDC Chief Susan Monarez Pushed Out After Weeks On Job As RFK Jr. Overhauls Agency — She’s Fighting Back

The sudden leadership shake-up at the CDC deepens turmoil inside the agency, where multiple senior officials have also resigned over vaccine policy disputes with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly said in a Cabinet meeting attended by President Donald Trump on Tuesday that his department will announce "interventions" that he believes are causing autism."We will have announcements as promised in September," Kennedy said, as <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/live-blog/trump-zelenskyy-putin-tariffs-dc-guard-redistricting-gaza-live-updates-rcna226792/rcrd87058?canonicalCard=true">reported</a> by NBC News. The Health Secretary said that the department is finding interventions that are “almost certainly causing autism” and said the announcement in September will address them.Kennedy is a prominent anti-vaccine activist. He had claimed during the pandemic that childhood vaccinations could lead to autism.

"Today we are prioritizing the restoration of public trust above any specific pro- or anti-vaccine agenda," Kennedy said in a statement then.Earlier this month, his department also announced plans to cancel $500 million in funding for mRNA vaccines under development to treat diseases such as the flu.“BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority) is terminating 22 mRNA vaccine development investments because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu. We’re shifting that funding toward safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate,” Kennedy said about the decision. “We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted,” he added.Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/regeneron-stock-rallies-after-therapy-for-autoimmune-disease-meets-late-stage-trial-goals/chsvb4wRdjv">Regeneron Stock Rallies After Therapy For Autoimmune Disease Meets Late-Stage Trial Goals: Retail Thinks Stock Might Hit An All-Time Low Soon</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com
