- How could Trump's proposed trade policies affect the global pharmaceutical market?
- Trump's potential health policies, such as a universal tariff on imports, could disrupt global medicine trade and exacerbate existing shortages.
- How might changes to the FDA under Trump's administration affect global medicine regulation?
- Kennedy's plans to reform the FDA, including reducing industry influence and eliminating the "revolving door" between the agency and the drug industry, could impact global medicine regulation and potentially shift the "gold standard" from the FDA to the EMA.
- How might vaccine skepticism in the US affect vaccination rates and public health in Europe?
- Increased vaccine skepticism in the US, fueled by Trump and Kennedy's rhetoric, could influence public opinion in Europe and potentially lead to lower vaccination rates and increased outbreaks of preventable illnesses.
- What impact could potential cuts to the NIH have on global medical research and development?
- Proposed cuts to the NIH could hinder global medical research, impacting the development of new drugs and vaccines, and potentially accelerating the EU's efforts to boost its own research.
- What are the potential consequences of reduced infectious disease monitoring in the US on global health security?
- Weakening of the CDC and other US health agencies could reduce infectious disease monitoring efforts, potentially forcing European agencies to take on a greater role and impacting global pandemic preparedness.
