While many are too quick to dismiss the entire “Make America Healthy Again” movement as a compilation of Instagram health advice and fast-talking pseudoscience, it’s undeniable that parts of MAHA are crucially important to the health of our society. Concerns over ever-expanding vaccine schedules, government subsidies driving the use of high fructose corn syrup, and the inclusion of carcinogenic food colors in children’s cereal are among the many subjects on which MAHA has gained significant, and well-deserved, momentum in recent years.
But while MAHA might have celebrated the selection of its somewhat overnight spokesman, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., perhaps its members need to worry whether he is endangering the same movement he hijacked on his path to power.
