At ‘Make America Healthy Again’ summit, Vance praises RFK Jr. for defying convention
Vance highlighted Kennedy's role in challenging medical orthodoxies and advancing policies to address chronic disease and reduce toxin exposure, calling it a turning point in U.S. health care.
- On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance praised Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for questioning established science and welcoming nontraditional voices in a livestreamed fireside chat at the Make America Healthy Again summit in Washington.
- Vance argued the shift reflects a broader White House pattern, noting the White House this year has largely left Kennedy alone as he remade agencies and that health secretary's allies reject medical consensus.
- Wednesday's agenda featured sessions on AI in health care, reversing aging and healthier food, following the Children's Health Defense annual conference in Austin, Texas, which featured Cheryl Hines.
- Vance signaled political payoff by saying MAHA has been `a critical part of our success in Washington` as the administration highlighted Kennedy's efforts on artificial dyes, ultra-processed foods, and dietary guidelines.
- Vance's embrace points to a larger shift as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could reshape agency staffing and vaccine guidance, while critics including leading medical associations warn his approach foments distrust, which Kennedy's allies dispute.
