Two advisers to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
sat on a stage in California this spring,
addressing an audience at a natural products industry trade show that drew tens of thousands of people from food brands, investment banks, supplement sellers and other companies.
Their message:
The goals of the Make America Healthy Again movement will help your bottom lines.
🔥“It blows my mind that I’m going to watch the Republicans carry the supplement industry and the holistic health industry and chiropractors and the acupuncturists into the promised land,”
said Del Bigtree, according to video of the remarks obtained by The Associated Press.
At the time, Bigtree was leading MAHA Action, one of the groups an AP investigation found pushing anti-science bills in states.
❌Powerful anti-vaccine advocates and people selling potentially harmful goods such as raw milk
are profiting from the push to write anti-science policies into law across the U.S.
They object to the term “anti-science” and portray the MAHA movement as grassroots.
But it’s fueled by a web of well-funded national groups led by people who’ve profited
– financially and otherwise
– from sowing distrust of medicine and science
