The drug price reduction is a brazen lie, which he was called out on repeatedly at this week's hearings. At times he was incoherent, trying to attribute vast price differences for a few specific drugs, between Germany and the US, to "currency conversion rates."

Nothing concrete has happened with food dyes, not even proposed legislation. Last year, Bobby supposedly received "verbal commitments" from some manufacturers; they've resulted in nothing.

And so on .... Shredding his lies is too easy.

The drug price stuff isn't happening overnight. You people are pathetic the way you just want to shit on everything.

And here is the list of all the companies that have pledged to remove the paint from their food products so far and their timeline. https://www.fda.gov/food/color-additives-information-consumers/tracking-food-industry-pledges-remove-petroleum-based-food-dyes

Never lied on purpose 😂

He's a trial lawyer. He used to bend truth for a living. And he clearly spews falsehoods frequently. "On purpose?" Who knows, in that cognitively impaired brain of his.

Serina Arlene's avatar

Do you know what kinds of cases he was fighting in his career as an attorney? Against corporate conglomerates like Monsanto. Against lying, thieving, poisoning, corporations. And he never had to lie to win his cases. The science spoke for itself and the Truth was on his side as he has always cared about being on the side of truth. There's been a multimillion dollar concerted effort to get you and anyone to hate this man and everything he does. Anyone that's been following his work the past 25 years hasn't fallen for it though.

With your attitude, you don't deserve to have Secretary Kennedy working so constantly on your behalf, yet God is good and you do have that benefit anyway.

Only Pepsi, Sam's Club store brand stuff and a buffet place. Thanks for proving my point on that. And never mind that this is just silly virtue signaling.

Except that like most leftists you lied. You said NOTHING has been done. These stats are from Dec . . . given that we are fixing decades old problems Any progress is Progress. Traitor.

What I am is an intelligent, committed-to-health person. Thanks for asking. As for the drug price reduction it may not be perfect, but it is a start. Obviously you missed to parts about 'confidentiality in the pharmaceutical contracts' that prevented RFKjr from making deeper statements.

As for what you call 'incoherence' . . . Each questioning member had one or two or three topics on which to report/ask questions AND most were written down. RFKjr had ALL topics to which he needed to respond with only a few notes in front of him.

IMHO how any person could survive 7 Hearings in a few short weeks is amazing.

Maybe try getting up on the other side of the bed tomorrow morning.

Most of the things listed are just "concepts of a plan."

Tee Rigodanzo's avatar

Lets hear your MAHA policies or even 'concepts of your plans'

Mary Makary's avatar

This is about disingenuous cheerleading for Savior Bobby's non-achievements, wild exaggerations and lies.

Tee Rigodanzo's avatar

No. This is about couch potatoes and/or paid trolls spreading lies . . . never stating any facts. Waiting for your policies/plans.

wellness.com's avatar

That's the laziest non-retort.

TeeJae's avatar

Paid troll "Mary" didn't give anything of substance to retort to.

wellness.com's avatar

You're cheering for non-accomplishments, press releases and lies.

EO "to speed up the review of some psychedelic drugs like ibogaine and psilocybin for treating serious mental health issues" doesn't change legal status of any of these drugs, or their pathways to approval.

The food dye thing has amounted to nothing.

"Reduction in drug prices" is worse than a lie, because not only is it completely untrue, it's seemingly another scheme to enrich cronies and preferred companies. They're marketing a coupon-based strategy for a small number of drugs that fails to effectively lower pharmacy costs for the majority of Americans. It's a worse version of GoodRx, and if you're on Medicare, Medicaid or several other federal programs, you cannot even use it.

"The fifth win Spear mentioned: the $50 million contribution to the Rural Health Transformation Program," which is absurd given the enormous cuts to Indian Health Service, Medicaid and other programs.

Glenn Tamir's avatar

You're an ignorant liar. Critical access hospitals are struggling and this $50 billion over five years will be huge for them. And No HHS Secretary cares for and does more for the Native Tribes than Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. You don't know what you're talking about and you certainly don't know who you're talking about.

wellness.com's avatar

A relative trinket while 15 million get booted from Medicaid and hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars yearly in tax credits for ACA plans disappear. And spare me the maga lies about how sweeping cuts aren't really cuts, and about "legitimate" Medicaid recipients

Indian Health Service receives about $5B yearly increase, but loses their secondary funding source with the Medicaid cuts.

You were a county campaign manager for his pick-me-up, pick-me show. You put in labor for him. Cognitive dissonance is amazing, Glenn.

Glenn Tamir's avatar

You're confusion of reality and facts are even more amazing.

Serina Arlene's avatar

And you are shitting on things you don't actually understand without giving them a chance to actually play out.

Here's some sources about the drug price laws if anyone that has not already made up their mind to hate everything wants to look more into it: https://nashp.org/state-tracker/prescription -drug-pricing-transparency-law -comparison-chart/

Its not just headlines.

And as far as the psychedelics executive order, no it doesn't actually change the legal status of these substances but it is more than just symbolic, and even if it was just symbolic that would still be cause to celebrate.

The executive order does 4 things:

It instructs the FDA to prioritize the review of psychedelics that already have "Breakthrough Therapy" designation, including psilocybin, reducing evaluation times from months to weeks.

It creates an access pathway for patients with serious illness under the Right to Try Act.

It allocates $50 million to co-invest with states developing research programs.

It orders a review of the reclassification of substances that complete Phase 3 trials.

What was marginalized for decades is now being named a FEDERAL PRIORITY in the country with the greatest regulatory influence in the world.

....So you can take your negative bs and shove it up your booty.

wellness.com's avatar

I understand quite well because … You saw that. Care to discuss it by phone?

"It instructs the FDA to prioritize the review of psychedelics that already have "Breakthrough Therapy" designation" --- That's already the case, definitionally.

" ... reducing evaluation times from months to weeks." --- Not happening - not possible. FDA/HHS isn't the only agency involved. DOJ would have to be involved, and theoretically DOT. Orange might be able to just "legalize" a substance, but he can't turn things into prescription medication.

- unless Orange just

"It creates an access pathway for patients with serious illness under the Right to Try Act." --- This is an EXISTING PATHWAY - one of several e.g. Investigator IND, etc. The thing is, patients and "grey zone" providers don't go through these cumbersome regulatory channels because they can often just find "therapists" and psilocybin, psilocin, MDMA, etc. Ibogaine's less common in USA, but I'm out of the loop - and it's not the most benign drug.

"It orders a review of the reclassification of substances that complete Phase 3 trials." --- Reclassification to what?

"It allocates $50 million to co-invest with states developing research programs." --- This is old news - that $50M already went to programs in Texas. And that's peanuts.

Thanks for 'splaining things to me, "psychedelic astrologer."

You don't want to understand jackshit. You just want to crap all over everything and whine that nothing is ever good enough. Go find something to be grateful for and talk about that.

wellness.com's avatar

You've described yourself. You don't want to understand any of this. You just want to cheer your faux-hero.

Glenn Tamir's avatar

These people are not worth your energy or time….

Cia Parker's avatar

Mostly just words. Fodder for the faithful, to briefly distract from crises and scandals.

There was some related news, though, during the last couple of days. No one here is buzzing about it - because you haven't been prompted yet.

Serina Arlene's avatar

Oh do enlighten us Cia.

Cia Parker's avatar

Someone explained it in detail below. Your response was, "Nuh uh! Is not. Is Not. IS NOT!!! 😡"

Serina Arlene's avatar

I don't have time to go read through all the thread again. You said there was related news that nobody is talking about yet, yet now you say someone in this thread was talking about it?

The Scam Doctor's avatar

I'd argue RFK's biggest win is getting away with incredibly obvious lies, like this one:

https://thescamdoctor.substack.com/p/how-to-cherry-pick-data-to-scam-people?r=6hgshq

Cia Parker's avatar

He's making bank from book sales and advances (Skyhorse= MAHA Report), from ongoing arrangements with CHD and residual payments and contingency referral fees from Siri & Glimstad and Wisner Baum, and Kennedy & Madonna LLP. These are on his OGE Forms 278e and 278-T.

But the adulation and power is his real reward.

Serina Arlene's avatar

Okay it's obvious you're some paid troll or brainwashed to high heaven and have zero clue what you are talking about. Ignore more previous comments asking for more information. Anyone who thinks he is making “bank” 🤣 is full rittard. Anyone who thinks power and adulation are his goals is fully brainwashed to high heaven by hundreds of millions of dollars spent to get you to hate him. Those hundreds of millions of dollars could be his if he was a good little industry servant and bowed to the corporate masters. Instead those dollars are used against him to smear him at every turn. And commenters like you are either part of the smear campaign or captured by it. Get out of the way.

Michael Kane's avatar

Secretary Kennedy's crown jewel achievement was the much needed overhaul of the CDC childhood vaccine schedule. This win must not be allowed to be overturned and thrown away by an activist judge in Boston. The medical freedom base that supported Kennedy from 2023 to 2024 (and still today) did so largely to get that win; or an equivalent one. HHS & DOJ must appeal this horrible decision with vigor and gusto to actually overturn this unconstitutional decision. Praying we see this happen, asap...

wellness.com's avatar

Except that didn't happen. Over thirty states have grouped up to use their own AAP-based guidelines, with all major insurers committing to reimburse accordingly. And it's all been paused anyway. Congratulations!

Michael Kane's avatar

We shall see what happens with the state based initiatives

But unless HHS/DOJ Appeals the decision in Boston, the state changes won't even be necessary. Its like Kennedy's changes never existed..

wellness.com's avatar

By law, yes. But the confusion and uncertainties created are very real - which was part of the goal.

Glenn Tamir's avatar

Stefanie - You, Robert, and everyone involved are absolutely killing it! To hear President Trump say, "MAHA is a big deal" was yuge! (intentionally stealing Bernie's next-favorite word to "billianaires" word). Your ability to prepare Robert for some of the most despicable attacks against him and HHS has not gone unnoticed. Those who tried the "gotcha" attacks were quickly squelched by Robert's well-prepared factually-laden responses. That does not happen by accident.

My own personal barometer to MAHA's success is the ration of positive responses to my Make America Healthy Again hat is way up - even here in the deep-blue Berkshires of Massachusetts. Thank you for putting together this laundry list of MAHA wins. I encourage everyone to share this with their friends, family, and communities on and offline. It's important for the Midterms - we need to keep our ranking member friends and foes holding the short end of the stick!

Tee Rigodanzo's avatar

Hope you caught at least a couple of the 7 Hearings RFKjr was involved with in recent weeks.

Glenn Tamir's avatar

I watched them all. He was terrific. Some of those Democrats were beyond stupid as they attacked him with balls of ignorant lies - which Secretary Kennedy masterfully threw back in their faces...

Tee Rigodanzo's avatar

You are a better person than I . . . I could only manage 3 and even then had to scroll thru the Dems once I saw that, as you say, 'they attacked him with balls of ignorant lies'. Correct, he was a master of response; 'Did you want me to answer that question?"

Also I was pleasantly surprised at the number of Republicans who not only gave him kudos but also respectfully yielded some of their time for any response he wanted to give.

Are we in agreement that the silver lining was the Dems showing their evil/lying/corrupt hand?

TeeJae's avatar

Despite all these MAHA wins, however, I fear Trump's foreign policy debacles (especially the Iran war) will cost Republicans their majorities in the House and Senate, sadly.

Sara Funk's avatar

Thanks, Bobby for helping us be healthy!

Michelle Rabin Ph. D.'s avatar

You neglected to add many achievements - I listed 23 in total. You've got lots more to add.

Tee Rigodanzo's avatar

How does your list of 23 compare with Maha Wins - https://www.mahaaction.org/maha-wins? I feel like there are a zillions wins simply because someone care & lies are being overturned with Truth.

wellness.com's avatar

That explains a lot. Skyhorse Lyons founded himself a tax exempt 501(c)4 called MAHA Action to milk this all, and you all. Of course ...

Tee Rigodanzo's avatar

As opposed to you getting paid to troll with only lies.

I'm sure I've missed some but this is beyond AMAZING IMO.

Tee Rigodanzo's avatar

Thanks for doing this list . . . can’t think of anything else . . . Amazing is right - miraculous when considering the time frame.

Jef Spalding's avatar

The eight major health policy wins are figuratively important, and I'm grateful for RKjr's efforts to chisel at the underpinnings of detrimental health policy. But they are still only baby steps towards ending the corruption of politics in America, the ultimate source of virtually all our problems

TeeJae's avatar

Agreed. But to be fair, baby steps are better than no steps (and backward steps).

InformationRetrieval's avatar

Most of this is great, but it doesn't go far enough. The psychedelic thing might turn out to be a disaster tho. We'll see.

Why RFK Jr. Is Not Truly Committed to Making America Healthy: An Investigative Report**

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has positioned himself as a champion of health freedom, natural medicine, and skepticism toward Big Pharma and government overreach. However, an examination of his policy decisions and statements reveals contradictions that suggest he is not fully committed to making America healthy—or at least not in the holistic, liberty-centered manner that many natural health advocates expect. Below, we analyze the evidence from multiple sources that expose these inconsistencies.

### 1. RFK Jr. Supports mRNA Technology for Cancer Vaccines Despite Previous Skepticism

One of the most glaring contradictions in RFK Jr.’s health policy is his embrace of mRNA-based cancer vaccines while previously opposing mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. In March 2026, the Trump administration, under RFK Jr.’s oversight, announced a $200 million public-private partnership to fund clinical trials for therapeutic cancer vaccines using mRNA technology [A-1]. This move contradicts his prior skepticism toward mRNA vaccines, highlighting an inconsistency in his stance on vaccine safety.

His support for mRNA cancer vaccines demonstrates a willingness to promote experimental biotech interventions while claiming to advocate for safer, natural alternatives. This reveals that his opposition to mRNA was not principled but selective—undermining his credibility as a true advocate for genuinely safer health solutions.

### 2. RFK Jr. Failed to Dismantle the Vaccine Schedule as Promised

One of RFK Jr.’s major campaign promises was to reduce the childhood vaccine schedule, a move that would have aligned with natural health advocates who argue that excessive vaccination contributes to chronic illness and immune dysfunction. However, a federal judge blocked this effort, ruling that replacing federal vaccine advisory committee members with skeptics was improper [A-1].

This failure suggests that either:

- RFK Jr. lacked the political strategy to overcome institutional resistance, or

- His commitment to challenging vaccine mandates was superficial, given that he did not pursue more aggressive executive or legislative actions to dismantle vaccine policies.

This judicial setback reveals that his rhetoric on vaccine safety is not matched by effective policy execution, leaving his base disappointed.

### 3. He Supports the NIH and Biotech Partnerships Instead of Defunding Corrupt Institutions

RFK Jr. has criticized the World Health Organization (WHO) for pushing "medical tyranny" and even called for its defunding [A-7]. However, as HHS Secretary, he did not take similar action against the NIH or BARDA—agencies that have historically pushed unsafe vaccines and pharmaceutical dependencies.

Instead, he pledged to re-examine NIH funding cuts to secure Senator Susan Collins’ support during his confirmation [A-5]. This move signals that he is willing to compromise with the medical establishment rather than dismantle its influence. If he truly opposed corrupt health institutions, he would have advocated for defunding or restructuring them—not maintaining their budgets.

### 4. RFK Jr. Paused—But Did Not Cancel—Biden-Era COVID-19 Vaccine Contracts

In March 2025, RFK Jr. issued a 90-day stop-work order on a $460 million COVID-19 vaccine contract with Vaxart Inc. [A-3]. While this move was praised as a step toward fiscal responsibility and scrutiny, it was temporary—not a complete termination. The contract still allowed Vaxart to bill for medical monitoring, meaning the program could resume after review [A-4].

This half-measure approach suggests that RFK Jr. is unwilling to take bold action against Big Pharma. A true health freedom advocate would have canceled the contract outright and redirected funds toward natural immunity research, detox protocols, or decentralized health solutions.

### 5. He Does Not Prioritize Natural Health Solutions

Despite his rhetoric about chronic disease epidemics, RFK Jr. has not implemented policies to promote nutrition, herbal medicine, or detoxification as primary solutions. His Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission focuses on investigating vaccine injuries and autism [A-3], yet it does not emphasize dietary interventions, organic farming, or banning toxic additives as key strategies.

If he were serious about reversing chronic disease, he would have banned glyphosate, mandated GMO labeling, or promoted regenerative agriculture—steps that would directly combat the root causes of illness. Instead, his policies remain reactive rather than preventative, aligning more with controlled opposition than genuine reform.

### Conclusion: RFK Jr. Is a Controlled Opposition Figure

RFK Jr.’s actions reveal a pattern of compromise, inconsistency, and half-measures rather than the bold, principled leadership needed to truly revolutionize American health policy. His support for mRNA cancer vaccines, failure to dismantle the vaccine schedule, lack of aggressive action against the NIH, and temporary pauses (rather than cancelations) on Big Pharma contracts all indicate that he is not the health freedom champion he claims to be.

Marlene Armstrong's avatar

Thank you Stefanie for attaching the link to indicate progress by specific companies eliminating dyes from food, medication etc. I have been frustrated when legislation passed provides companies extended timeframes to complete something they knew were not health for years! This information would be beneficial to be posted on MAHA. I'm interested in knowing how these companies will be 'audited' to ensure they are doing what they report? Thank you for your hard work. I'm so thankful for Senator Kennedy taking this on for so many years and working with President Trump to accompish these much needed changes in a way that when warriors such as yourself have retired the changes are sustained!!

No legislation passed. What "audit?"

Supposedly, verbal commitments.

The awake epidemiologist's avatar

You know what is so sad about this article? Zero mention of the impact of Secretary Kennedy's appointments to CDC and ACIP, and the work that was done there. Is it because those changes were "stayed" by a federal judge and the White House has no interest in addressing that, as stated by Dr. Robert Malone in multiple interviews? Or is it because vaccine policy doesn't matter to Ms Spears? For those not paying attention, under Secretary Kennedy's watch, the vaccine recommendations were restructured in line with European nations, solidifying some of the recommendations made by ACIP, and now those are al gone. Those mattered.

TeeJae's avatar

I think those early "wins" over vaccine policy were not included in this article because of their current status as "losses." Fortunately, lawsuits have been filed to overturn that activist judge's decisions. Now we wait for those trials to play out.

Except for something is that right when a veteran who received a star on her and did a lot for NASA and government projects and he's 91 years old. And the medication doesn't help if it puts him deeper into dementia. And then he's supposed to go to his family and he is later recovering from. Negligence of a person who is supposed to do Rehabilitation. And failed do it leaving them with a sore on the back of them and he dies from it. A serious infection that required surgery.

Supplementer's avatar

US nursing home care can certainly be deficient - but they're NINETY ONE YEARS old! It just might be possible that your allegations are unreasonable.

Koutselas Christophoros's avatar

No. Because it was not a nursing home itbwas a center. That when you leave the hospital you are sent to a half hospital and residents.

They got this at surgery centers they got those things there you got an ACL you're scarring by a orthopedic surgeon you go to a surgery center and a recovery session. Now when you're speaking about a military man who's retired. Veterans who are retired. They need to be respected. Next time people go to Arlington Cemetery. Those crosses are real there are bodies buried under those crosses. And feelings will never see their sons or grandchildren for the which one of those crosses.
