When MAGA won, so did MAHA, the “healthy” arm of the Trump apparatus.

When Donald Trump Taking the stage in Florida at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday to announce victory, he promised assembled supporters a “golden age for America” upon his return to the White House. You might be surprised by the number of white women with babies on their hips, front-facing cameras pointed at their accentuated cheekbones, nodding along with him on their social media accounts – but only if you haven’t checked out Robert F. Kennedy Jr.“Make America Healthy Again,” or MAHA for short, is a “health plan” specifically designed for those who proudly call themselves free-spirited moms and bosses. Hey girl, we’ll make America healthy again!

“We are the party of common sense,” Trump said in his speech. And that common sense apparently means Kennedy, his former GOP rival, is “going crazy” with national health care policy. Kennedy, official anti-vaxxer showed off his brain partially eaten by worm this led to loss of both short-term and long-term memory, among other cognitive effects – and this he would have eaten five more and at the same time remain calm “with a disability of six worms.”

“He’s going to help make America healthy again,” Trump said of Kennedy, the man he accused back in May of being Secret Democrat in cahoots with the President Joe Biden implement a radical leftist agenda. “He’s a great guy and he really means he wants to do something and we’re going to let him do it.” During it rally at Madison Square GardenTrump teased news of this new health care czar, saying, “I’ll let him go crazy on health. I’ll let him go crazy with food. I’ll let him go crazy on the meds.”

Right-wing social media influencers such as Jessica Reed Krauswho post endless typo-riddled Instagram stories under the handle @houseinhabit, and their merry band of wine mommies and girl bosses have been waiting for this moment for a long time: confirmation that they, too, can be “medicated crazy,” no matter how much This puts lives in danger. If Kennedy were to be appointed to this unnamed senior public health position (both he and Trump were hesitant about what the position would actually be, but Kennedy appears to be participating in the time-honored far-right tradition of saying something completely crazy generally several times and hoping it becomes true, voila change-o), his intention is to dismantle and privatize the foundations of public health initiatives.

When Kennedy abandoned his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, he began his MAHA Initiative, renaming himself Trump Guy and Health Guy in one fell swoop.

According to linked PAC websitewhich sells branded hats (this party loves hat), the key to health lies in “health freedom” and “removing harmful toxins from food, water and air.”

IN NPR interviewKennedy said that on the first day of the second Trump administration he would recommend removing fluoride from drinking water. “Now we have fluoride in toothpaste,” he said, conveniently dodging people who might not have had access to toothpaste, even though he later showed remarkable flexibility by bending over backwards to rationalize Republicans as “Party of the American Poor People”

This interview does not say: His past statements (plural) that chemicals in tap water are turning children gay and transgender. Lately, his talking points lean more on his also false beliefs that fluoride causes arthritis, broken bones and bone cancer. Kennedy would like to lead medical research in this mystical role, because, you see, he did his best. own.

Speaking to NPR, Kennedy also said he would “immediately” start working on changes to vaccine regulations and research, slyly explaining: “We’re not going to take vaccines away from anyone. We’re going to make sure Americans have accurate information now. The science on vaccine safety in particular has a huge gap, and we’re going to make sure that that science is done so that people can make informed choices about their vaccinations and their children’s vaccinations.”

This is where Kennedy joins hands with all those earth moms and health influencers who “did their own research” and “made the right choices for their families”: Saying he’s not going to “repeal vaccines” doesn’t mean that politics cannot do this. they are much more difficult to obtain. And as child vaccination requirements are relaxed, leading to lower adoption rates, vaccines are becoming less effective at preventing disease and unnecessary death. The study conducted by Kennedy and influential individuals apparently did not include reading Herd immunity and the role that individual accountability plays in the well-being of society.
