RFK Jr.’s MAHA Movement Obscures America’s Unhealthy Past
Medical historians say that the phrase “Make America Healthy Again” obscures a past during which this country’s people ate, smoked and drank things that mostly left them unwell.
we were healthier when we had less tests and understood less about biology!
I see we’re taking a page out of Russia’s playbook on how they handled HIV/AIDS (stop recording and reporting metrics on it altogether) and applying it writ large. Wcgw.
Cavemen must have been the healthiest of people.
Well, that's actually what some kooks claim. Look at the "paleo" diet gurus and the like...
Everything these people talk about is the exact opposite. Prime example is the "patriot" act, but Brainworms saying he's going to make us more healthy while being an antivaxxer is a contradiction in terms. Especially when we might be on the cusp of bird flu outbreak....
Im conflicted on RFK. He’s right on his takes about nutrition and over reliance of Americans on prescription drugs, and he may be right about flouride (which we have always known had risks). He also wants to ban drug advertising which is 100% necessary. Yet his takes on vaccines are so so bad that it counters all the good he could do if he was really able to clean the food toxic food environment of the US and curb the power of big pharma.
I’m gonna hope for the best here. Vaccines are big business, so Trump might not let him make too many changes there. But so is food so who knows?
But, are vaccines big business? I thought they typically have to be ordered it massive quantities from the government and/or enticed to make them, since the margins are not very high.
