Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ramping up midterm travel to revive his “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, armed with a carefully crafted list of popular food and fitness policies to sell — and divisive issues like vaccines to avoid.

“MAHA is a charged item tied to MAGA, but the issues that he’s really delivered victories on are popular, and we’re going to try to execute a strategy to talk, you know, really about those issues and what he’s done,” said a senior administration official, who, like others in this story, was granted anonymity to discuss the secretary’s midterm strategy.


Not sure Bobby Brainworm is the best standard bearer for this moment 🤣

    Ironically, the “vaccines cause autism” eugenics crowd like RFK Jr. seem to always display the greatest and most obvious signs of untreated mental illness, mental instability and cognitive distinction.

      Isn’t that par for the course for right wing folk? It also means that they can be treated, recover, and learn from their wrongdoings.

        I would note that Fetterman gets brain damaged, and seemingly turned hard right. I wish we did have a treatment for the mental condition that leads to conservatism.

          We do have treatment though, that’s education, strong communities, and access to healthcare.

            Even under the best of conditions, people can live under that kind of system and still turn out like Stephen Miller, etc.

              I think under those conditions it would be incredibly rare for someone like that to keep such ways of thinking to adulthood, and it’s another opportunity to learn how to help.

        I don’t agree with that last part. I believe their mental instability and cognative disfunction can hinder their impulse control, but I wouldn’t argue its what makes them the goose stepping Nazi pieces of shit that they are. That’s malice, not ignorance or mental illness.

          As we are both talking in general, I think malice can be mended, but of course it really depends on what specifically.

          I know very well that there are people who want death to those who don’t deserve it. I was so upset when I was having a conversersation with one such person, but I understand that they don’t know any better. Said person only watches Fox “news” and is so entrenched in that propaganda, that manufactured hatred, it may be easy to forget that these people are also being taken advantage of.

          Do you see what I mean? Their ignorance allows malice to manifest.

      Oh, that just means RFK jr probably needs to see how mitochondrially challenged you are, since you are obviously not understanding his genius.
