Trump administration releases long awaited MAHA roadmap

The Trump administration’s highly anticipated policy strategy to improve children’s health outcomes targets ultra-processed food, vaccine use and exposure to chemicals but doesn’t go as far as some industry groups feared in proposing new regulations.

The Make America Healthy Again Commission report, released Tuesday, largely mirrors the draft plan officials shared with industry representatives last month.

It stops short of restrictions on pesticide use, focusing instead on changes like reforming FDA regulatory pathways, investigating food ingredients, modernizing American vaccines and improving the childhood vaccine schedule. In some areas, it advances long-held industry priorities that public health advocates say could increase the very health risks that have fueled the MAHA movement, such as accelerating reviews of new chemicals.

The final strategy represents a significant win for the farm industry, which successfully lobbied the White House and President Donald Trump to temper Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s goal to crack down on common agriculture production practices. The document bookends an error-ridden May report that laid out what the Trump administration sees as the root causes of children’s growing rates of chronic disease.

a 20 page report, and not a single attempt to explain what they mean by that. Since Brainworm Bobby has banned research on mRNA vaccines, this is a direct lie.

Google: is rfk jr associated with swimming in sewer water?

Yes, in May 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was widely criticized for swimming with his grandchildren in Washington, D.C.'s Rock Creek, a waterway known to be contaminated with sewage runoff.

The swim took place in Rock Creek, which has been banned for swimming for over 50 years due to bacterial and fecal contamination from storm and sewer runoff. ... Kennedy posted photos on social media of himself and his grandchildren submerged in the creek.

... The controversy: The incident drew heavy criticism from public officials and the media, with many pointing out the health risks of swimming in contaminated water and questioning the judgment of the newly appointed Health Secretary.

Kennedy's response: Kennedy defended the action, saying the public should have the right to use public waterways for swimming and fishing and that people should be more concerned about those who pollute them
