Eagerly waiting to learn in six months that the Trump family has been quietly buying up patents for individual formulations for measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines. Manufactured demand is the best!

*for legal reasons, this is conjecture.

I would certainly hope that no judge anywhere could misconstrue "waiting to learn X" as "I am telling you X is a known fact", but with the bad trajectory these days...

That said, AFAICT at least some of those patents existed long ago and expired. So I would guess the insider-trading money would be on either be shorting companies involved in current MMR vaccines, or else something a bit more indirect.

That would certainly be a case of history rhyming, given Andrew Wakefield's motivations for the fraud he perpetrated.
