I've said this before, in several different forums, but again:
If #RFKjr is supposed to be the figurehead for #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain #MAHA why does he look like a corpse in *every* photo I've seen of him?

How many need to claim something causes autism or a chronic disease for #MAHA to think it's worth looking into? How big and how long does the study need to be? Why should someone or some group be trusted with making that call or doing the research?
AFAIK there are no perfect answers to any of these questions. There never have been. There have always been dissident voices. The only difference now is the power of the internet to multiply these dissident opinions into political pressure. #science
"A top Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official told staff this week to start planning for the agency’s splintering.
Several parts of CDC — mostly those devoted to health threats that aren’t infectious — are being spun off into the soon-to-be-created Administration for a Healthy America, the agency official told senior leaders in calls and meetings."
AP News · CDC officials plan for the agency's splintering, but questions remain
If MAHA truly wanted to tackle the chronic illness epidemic, they would provide the following:
Free respirators, Covid/flu tests and vaccines
Clean air in public spaces
Paid time off/sick leave
paid childcare
Mandatory masking in healthcare
Universal healthcare
Universal basic income
They don’t want to end the chronic illness epidemic, they want the chronically ill to disappear. There’s a big difference.
It’s eugenics on full display, and people are buying it because of their own internalized ableism.
They need to believe chronic illness can’t happen to them. That if they do the “right things” they will be fine.
Everyone is only temporarily abled. Help us fight for better social supports, healthcare and inclusion. It benefits everyone.
#RFKJr's #MAHA agenda includes not giving a damn about #SexualViolence https://www.npr.org/2025/04/08/nx-s1-5349529/hhs-layoffs-sexual-assault-rape-prevention
The MAHA movement claims to want to “make America healthy again”… and RFK Jr says he will end the chronic disease epidemic.
Yet we’ve seen no plans to improve the health or life of the chronically ill, and many plans that will end our lives faster.
Anti vaccine sentiment. Cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. Mask bans. Increase in the use of the R slur and various ableist attitudes.
Today Trump announced a tariff on pharmaceuticals, which will devastate the disability community.
We already live below the poverty line, often on a fixed income that barely covers the essentials. We can’t withstand economic uncertainty and supply chain disruptions as well as our non disabled peers.
This is another step in escalating eugenics. The Nazis targeted disabled people too… because they knew no one would stand up for us.
Please fight for us. Wear a mask. Call your elected officials. Reach out a hand in support.
Don’t leave anyone behind.
RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill:
"MAHA does not want to save every life. MAHA wants to end the lives of those who can’t survive a world without vaccines, food safety, and hygiene, because MAHA believes that people exist on a spectrum of “weak” to “strong” and that they are the chosen Übermenschen who will survive without those things. "

Just like every other slogan on the right, “Make America Healthy Again” is just a smokescreen to harm Americans to benefit corporations and the wealthy.

How pseudo-science drives out science when powered by quasi-religious ideology? This is a very good long-read about the similarities between 1920’s #Lysenkoism and today’s #MAHA movement.
https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/make-america-healthy-again-the-new-lysenkoism/
On a personal note, in early 2000’s I got interested in #Marxism specifically through Lysenkoism - I simply couldn’t believe how apparently educated people could, for a quarter of century, aggressively push pseudo-scientific nonsense that visibly contradicted the physical, observed reality. This article explains very well how that happened, and how it’s happening again.
