But when do we get to see the short seller report?    Cause I’m willing to be 
it has some interesting names on it.

It is not publicly known who shorted Kenvue stock in the weeks leading up to 
reports that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as Health and Human Services (HHS) 
secretary, was expected to link Tylenol to autism. Information about 
short-selling activity is not immediately disclosed, and the Wall Street 
Journal's September 5, 2025, report that caused the initial stock drop did not 
name specific investors. 
Here is what is known about the short-selling and RFK Jr.'s actions:
The stock drop: Kenvue's stock fell more than 10% on Friday, September 5, 2025, 
following the Wall Street Journal report that Kennedy would likely announce a 
link between the company's Tylenol and autism. The news was met with immediate 
pushback from Kenvue and the scientific community, which states there is no 
evidence of a causal link.
Institutional trades: Public records of large, institutional stock sales and 
purchases are reported quarterly and are not available in real-time. This means 
that the specific short-selling activity just before the September 5 report is 
not publicly identified.
Previous anti-vaccine and anti-pharma statements: The stock market has reacted 
to Kennedy's anti-vaccine and anti-pharma positions before. For example, 
vaccine-maker stocks fell in November 2024 when he was named to lead HHS. This 
suggests that investors were aware of the potential for market-moving 
statements from Kennedy related to public health and pharmaceuticals.
No proof of insider trading: There is no public evidence suggesting any illegal 
insider trading occurred in this instance. For short-selling to be considered 
illegal insider trading, it would need to be proven that an investor received 
and acted upon specific, non-public information about Kennedy's announcement.
