THE LAST THING STANDING BETWEEN A CHILD AND AN INDUSTRY FULL OF CORRUPTIONS IS A MOM. -RFK JR.

Today in Truth Talk, Sandra Daher and I talk about the hopes we have for the health of our country under the potential leadership of Robert F Kennedy Jr should he get confirmed by the US Senate this week. Here are MAHA's hopes and we dish on which we are the most passionate about!

1. Focus on Vaccine Policy

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is known for his strong stance against vaccine mandates and his outspoken criticism of certain vaccine policies. As the head of HHS, he could likely work to shift the agency's approach to vaccines, particularly by pushing for more stringent safety reviews and questioning the role of pharmaceutical companies in vaccine approval. His work with the Children's Health Defense organization has been centered around advocating for vaccine safety, so any initiatives he would pursue might focus on reforming vaccine policy and increasing transparency in the industry.

2. Alternative Health Approaches

Kennedy Jr. has often expressed skepticism toward conventional medicine, particularly around topics like environmental toxins, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and other health risks tied to industrial practices. If he were in charge of HHS, he could push for greater emphasis on environmental health, reducing exposure to pollutants, and promoting natural health alternatives.

3. Focus on Environmental Health

One of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s long-standing passions is environmental advocacy, especially around water pollution and climate change. At HHS, he might prioritize public health policies that tie environmental factors, like air quality and water safety, to health outcomes. This could lead to increased regulation of industries that contribute to pollution and further promotion of clean energy and sustainable practices.

4. Focus on Transparency and Accountability in the Healthcare System

Kennedy Jr. has been critical of what he sees as the undue influence of pharmaceutical companies and big healthcare corporations over public health policies. He may work to increase oversight and transparency in drug approvals, healthcare funding, and potentially challenge practices like the over-prescription of certain medications.

5. Public Health Messaging

His position on vaccines and other health issues suggests that he might push for more critical discussions around public health guidelines.

6. Mental Health Initiatives

What are some simple ways we can do something to help this cause?

  1. Ask Questions

  2. Vote with your dollars… buy real food, skip seed oils, dyes, GMO foods,

  3. Teach your family!

  4. Cook at home with real ingredients

  5. Sign petitions, follow MAHA, thefoodbabe,

  6. Clear up lies
