NEW YORK (AP) — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. garnered support at a recent 'Make America Healthy Again' event in Washington, but a dissenting narrative is emerging among a faction of his followers. Criticism is growing from some of Kennedy's former allies who feel that key Trump administration officials may be sabotaging the health initiative, altering its original mission. As numerous health advocates express concern about the involvement of pharmaceutical companies and tech firms in MAHA’s plans, tensions rise over the coalition's future direction.
Kennedy's administration has made significant changes to vaccine policies, but some grassroots supporters are dissatisfied with the pace of reforms. Claims of sabotage have prompted calls for deeper scrutiny of the movement's alliances with corporate entities that some activists don't trust. While Kennedy assures stakeholders of the movement's commitment to public health goals, concerns linger about the coherence and integrity of MAHA.
Public health researchers emphasize that Kennedy's broad coalition is both a strength and a potential source of conflict. As partnerships with various sectors, including AI and biotech, grow, determining the core identity of MAHA is crucial for maintaining support. Recent public opinion indicates a substantial backing for Kennedy’s health initiatives, posing questions about how the grassroots voices will resonate within this evolving landscape.
