US EditionRFK Jr.'s MAHA report raises concerns about vaccines, American foods and prescription drugs
- The Trump administration released a 69-page Make America Healthy Again report on February 13, 2025, examining rising chronic diseases in American children.
- The report followed an executive order creating the MAHA commission and identifies poor diet, environmental toxins, stress, and overmedication as possible causes of declining child health.
- The report depicts American children as experiencing unprecedented health challenges, including sharp increases in conditions like excessive weight, metabolic disorders, certain cancers, and psychological issues, while highlighting the impact of corporate interests on scientific research and policy-making.
- The report calls for nationwide studies on ultraprocessed foods, pesticides, and vaccine safety, though it lacks concrete solutions and draws criticism for unsubstantiated claims on vaccines and food safety.
- The MAHA commission plans a follow-up strategy within 100 days to address child health and chronic disease, but political and scientific disputes may affect public confidence and policy implementation.
