There have been a lot of drama within the last few weeks Make America fit again movement. Dr. Casey means that a significant part of the confusion surrounds the recent candidate of President Donald Trump, Dr. Casey, together with her brother, Calley Means, a special adviser to the Secretary for Health and Social Welfare Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Several members of the MAHA wider coalition cited concerns about their participation in biotechnology companies, while others condemn a lack of pressure on vaccines. Predictably, Extreme left -wing media He has a day in the field, running stories better adapted to E! Network than solemn media.
However, in the case of all entertainment, the main victories of Maha fly under the radar.
FDA wins
The Food and Drug Agency not only ordered the three most controversial Food dyes Removal from processed food, but the agency will also review the market of all added food chemicals.
In the last press release, the FDA announced means “Increase transparency and ensure the safety of chemicals in food.” According to the press message, the FDA will introduce a modernized priority program based on evidence in the field of reviewing existing chemicals, initiates the final, systematic process of review after MarkIN And accelerate the review of chemicals at present.
Barely any older media point covered these stories, and even more applauded. During the controversial interrogation in front of the house last week, Kennedy had to Toot his own Horn to rep. Rosa Delauro, D-Conn, who blew up Kennedy for his consolidation efforts in the Health and Social Welfare Department. “Congresmen Delauro, you say that for 20 years you worked on extracting food dye. Give me recognition! I got it for a hundred days!”
He repeated his popular accusation: “There is no such thing as republican children or democratic children. There are only children and we should all worry about them.”
In response to changes in the FDA, many companies have quick effort to follow recent standards. Lately, Tyson Foods He announced that he would eliminate dyes based on crude oil by the end of the month.
In addition, last week, Kennedy told the FDA to perform a full review of the popular abortion pill mifepriston. According to insurance data1 in 10 women experienced a solemn adverse event within 45 days of taking a pill, including sepsis, infection and hemorrhage.
According to the report: “The actual indicator of serious adverse events after Mifepriston’s abortion is at least 22 times higher than the summary number of” less than 0.5 percent “in clinical studies reported on the drug label”.
Changes in the recommendation of the vaccine
The FDA plans to introduce a recent review system for future vaccines that would require placebo testing, a huge victory for Maha supporters.
FDA Commissioner Dr. Marta Makary signaled his support for moving. “We want to see vaccines available for high-risk people,” said Makary. “And at the same time we want good learning. We want good clinical data.”
The agency focuses on good data it already has. The years of the unsuccessful Covid-19 policy preceded the years of insufficient MRNA side effects and unnecessary injections. Finally, health officials do something about it. On May 20, Makary together with Dr. Vinay Pragad, announced That federal agencies will no longer recommend Covid-19 shots for children and teenagers.
In addition, officials have circumscribed recommendations for continuous shots for high -risk people and older people. This is a tiny step, but it is a historical reversal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Vaccine vaccine schedule, which, with one exception, always grows and never decreases.
For many years, Trump advertised his first health campaign, Warp Speed ​​surgery as a huge success. As a result, many speculated that the president was the efforts of Kennedy and others to re-assess the Covid-19 vaccines. But every relevant public statement of the president supports Kennedy’s efforts, even if it means thinking about past politician in the lightweight of recent evidence.
At the beginning of this year, Kennedy also suggested HHS would review the entire schedule of children’s vaccines, but it remains a promissory note.
End of function research
Maha’s next success took place on May 5, when Trump signed an executive order Prohibit the functions of biological agents and pathogens in foreign “disturbing countries” financed by federal research. Kennedy called the removal of “milestone and historical stone.”
Although the executive order was quite narrow, it is clear that leading health officials recognize problems with these tests wherever they are conducted. “There is no laboratory that has this right, there is no laboratory that is not resistant to leaks,” commented the secretary of HHS during signing.
Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health, said: “Conducting these research does not protect us from Pandems, as some people could say. Every nation who engages in these studies threatens our own population, as well as in the world, as we saw during Covid Pandemia.”
“Function’s profit is a field of a scientist in which scientists really play God,” said Kennedy “The Record of Greta Van Susteren.” “They take pathogenic viruses and make them more transmitted, they make them more virulent and make them more deadly.”
Some in Maha’s movement complain that these rules are too modest – and this may be true. But everyone represents the reversal of politicians who until recently treated the elite influences as they settled. Among Maha fans, a more charity interpretation is that Kennedy, Makary and Bhattacharya wisely choose an incremental approach. It is simple to forget that they took their positions for only a few months.
Like most Trump programs, it was hard to keep up with these main health policy reforms. However, if Maha’s coalition can remain focused and disciplined, we have all the reasons for hope that Trump-Kennedy Vision consisting in making healthier America will succeed.
