RFK's highly anticipated MAHA report paints dark picture of America's health crisis



Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. released his 68-page MAHA Commission report detailing the dark reality of America's health and how to fix it.

Kennedy's report highlights root causes of chronic diseases, obesity, autoimmune conditions, and behavior disorders in children. The report points to multiple culprits, including ultra-processed foods, exposure to chemicals like pesticides, and lack of exercise, as well as "overmedicalization." Underlying all of these issues, the report notes that corporate influence in medicine and health care has been one of the driving forces that has led to all of these problems.

"To turn the tide and better protect our children, the United States must act decisively," the report reads. "During this administration, we will begin reversing the childhood chronic disease crisis by confronting its root causes — not just its symptoms. This means pursuing truth, embracing science, and enacting pro-growth policies and innovations to restore children’s health. Today’s children are tomorrow’s workforce, caregivers, and leaders — we can no longer afford to ignore this crisis."

'This strategic realignment will ensure that all Americans — today and in the future — live longer, healthier lives.'

"After a century of costly and ineffective approaches, the federal government will lead a coordinated transformation of our food, health, and scientific systems," the report reads. "This strategic realignment will ensure that all Americans — today and in the future — live longer, healthier lives, supported by systems that prioritize prevention, well-being, and resilience."

The MAHA Commission, which was established by one of President Donald Trump's executive orders, was tasked with investigating the drivers of America's health epidemic.

The report found that as much as 70% of foods children consume contain ultra-processed ingredients and concluded that scientific funding for pharmaceutical, chemical, and food companies has contributed to rising chronic diseases.

Additionally, the report found that there's been a 1,400% increase in prescriptions for antidepressants in American children from 1987 to 2014, also known as "overmedicalization." The report also questioned the current childhood vaccine protocol and said that vaccines would benefit from a "more rigorous clinical trial" design.

To address the many failures that have affected American children's health, the report also put forward a "gold standard" research initiative that includes nutrition trials, drug safety research, and large-scale lifestyle interventions.

"Some of the steps to implement these research initiatives are already underway and others will begin this in the near future," the report reads. "In parallel, the MAHA Commission will immediately begin working on developing the strategy to make our children healthy again — due in August 2025. We invite all of America, especially the private sector and academia, to be part of the solution."

RFK Jr.’s big announcement on autism rates — and why the scientific community doesn't want the truth



Autism rates have skyrocketed in the past couple of decades — and to the dismay of those who profit from it, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made it clear that he’s intent on figuring out why.

In an announcement this week, RFK Jr. brought a study to light that found that the cost of treating autism in the United States by 2035 will be $1 trillion.

“This is added to already astronomical health care costs. And then there is individual injury,” RFK said. “This is a preventable disease. We know it’s an environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics. They can provide a vulnerability.”


RFK also noted that “the amount of money and resources put into studying genetic causes, which is a dead end, has been historically 10 to 20 times the amount spent by the NIH and other agencies to study environmental factors.”

“That’s where we’re going to find the answer,” he concluded.

Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” is thrilled to hear it.

“Even the scientific community is so captured by autism being a profitable business that they are in a sense willing to waste money on studying your genetic predisposition to this and ignoring the environmental factors, because they don’t want to know the answer,” she says.

“They don’t want to know if it’s the food. They don’t want to know if it’s the shots. They don’t want to know if it’s the chemicals that we put on our food. They don’t want to know if it’s fertilizers and weed killers and GMO and whatever else, stuff in our water, fluoride in our water. They don’t want to know any of that,” she continues.

“The money to study the root cause was never an honest, authentic, investigation, because they don’t want to know the answer,” she adds.

Autism epidemic cause to be EXPOSED by September? RFK Jr. says yes



In President Donald Trump’s all-hands Cabinet meeting last week, RFK Jr. made some extraordinarily bold claims — that we will know what is causing the extreme increase in autism in America by September of this year.

“We’ve launched a massive testing and research effort that’s going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world,” he told President Trump. “By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic, and we’ll be able to eliminate those exposures.”

Trump responded that “there will be no bigger news conference than that” and suggested that “something artificial” must be the culprit.

The rates of autism in the U.S. have risen to absurd numbers, with about 1 in 36 children being identified with autism spectrum disorder in 2020, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


In the meeting, Kennedy also suggested that these numbers have gotten higher since, telling Trump they’re at about 1 in 31.

“That is a really big number; that is a really severe increase,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” says. “And just to kind of put it in perspective, in approximately 50 years, autism rates increased by 32,160%.”

“I would say it’s high time that we start actually looking into what the hell is causing this for our children,” she continues. “Perhaps maybe it’s not just one cause, but you start to wonder, ‘Well, what could we expect to see revealed?’”

“I don’t know, maybe childhood vaccinations, maybe something that I’ve been screaming about for many years now,” she adds.

My doctor bullied me over vaccines. RFK will end the intimidation.



The left has spent the last year fearmongering about RFK Jr. and his stance on vaccines, and the attacks are only getting more volatile and desperate as his confirmation hearings rage on.

What the left has failed to admit or accept is that RFK Jr. does not want to rid the American health care system of vaccines but rather hold manufacturers liable and give American citizens the right to choose whether or not they want to give them to their children or take them themselves.

Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” couldn’t be more thrilled with RFK’s stance — especially as a mother who has undergone intense pressure and scrutiny from her medical doctors to vaccinate her children.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever talked about this, but I started having some questions for my pediatricians when my oldest was a baby, and it just seemed like a lot. It just seemed like a lot at once, when they’re really little, and so I had some questions, especially as a new mom,” Stuckey explains.


While Stuckey had her first child before COVID hit, she couldn’t help feeling that something was off with her pediatrician's response to her questions.

“I was just curious before all of that, like ‘Where do we get the science for the schedule?’ And ‘This is so much more than when I was a baby,’ and ‘What’s the reason for that?’ and ‘Is it okay to space them out?’ I just wanted to know, and I felt completely shut down by my pediatrician,” she says.

“First of all, I didn’t get any answers,” she continues. “And when I started to ask about, ‘Okay, well, what about this kind of adjusted schedule or something like that,’ I was told, ‘As you know, there’s no science backing your position. As long as you know that, there’s no medical necessity behind what you might choose to do, as long as you know that there’s no foundation to your concerns or your curiosities.’”

“It came to the point where I would not go to a pediatrician appointment without my husband because I felt like I was being made to feel stupid for just asking things, and if anything causes skepticism, it is being made to feel like you cannot ask a question,” she adds.

Stuckey isn’t alone in her experience, as mothers all over the country have reported feeling pressured by pediatricians to pump their children full of vaccines within the first year of their lives.

“A lot of parents go through this bullying in the doctor’s office, and if RFK being the head of the HHS at least changes that, gives parents more information and more power and changes the culture so that maybe doctors don’t feel like they have to be so defensive, because doctors really don’t spend a lot of time in med school learning about vaccines, but they should,” Stuckey says.

“They should know everything about them. They should know the benefits, they should know the risks, they should know the ingredients, they should be able to answer questions in a very cheery and helpful way that should be the norm,” she continues.

“I’m not saying that RFK has the power to change all of that as one individual, but I do think he has a lot of it. And I think no matter where you stand on vaccines, that would be a benefit for everyone,” she adds.
