US EditionMAHA strategy released: Targets vaccines, chronic disease, childhood nutrition
- On September 9, 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who leads the Health and Human Services department, unveiled the 20-page Make America Healthy Again report in Washington, highlighting children's health issues and strategies to address chronic illnesses.
- The report came amid turmoil in federal health agencies, including the firing of the CDC director, staff departures, and a proposed 40 percent cut to the NIH budget.
- It directs the NIH to establish a comprehensive initiative that integrates health insurance data, electronic medical records, and information from wearable devices to study vaccine-related injuries, factors contributing to autism, the impact of ultraprocessed foods, and environmental contaminants.
- The report also urges HHS and the Department of Justice to enforce laws on prescription drug ads by telehealth and social media influencers, and proposes voluntary industry guidelines to limit unhealthy food marketing to children.
- While the plan signals a shift in public health priorities, it faces uncertainty about funding and scientific acceptance as Kennedy's vaccine safety focus deepens political and agency divides.
