Good to see you and Mr. Bigtree working together. It would be great to see you guys team up and/or coordinate for your broadcasts, and have them on different days of the week.
Conversation piece for the dinner. Should the New York Times write this article.
The Moment for MAHA: Why America’s Children Need a New Health Revolution
By The Editorial Board
America is facing a generational crisis-one that transcends politics, ideology, and geography. For the first time in modern history, our children are projected to live shorter, sicker lives than their parents. Rates of chronic disease, obesity, diabetes, neurodevelopmental disorders, and mental health crises have soared. This is not just a public health emergency; it is a national security risk and a moral imperative.
For decades, leaders of both parties have promised to “put children first,” yet the health of America’s youngest has steadily declined. Now, with the rise of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, we have an opportunity-perhaps our last in a generation-to reverse this decline and reclaim a future of health and vitality for all Americans.
A National Emergency, Not a Partisan Issue
The evidence is overwhelming:
• Chronic diseases now affect more than half of American children, compared to a small fraction just 60 years ago.
• Childhood obesity rates have tripled since the 1970s.
• Diagnoses of autism, ADHD, and anxiety have reached record highs.
• Our children’s life expectancy is falling, a reversal unseen in other advanced nations37.
This is not a Republican or Democratic problem. It is an American crisis. The health of our children is the foundation of our nation’s prosperity, security, and resilience. If we fail to act, the economic and social costs will be staggering-lost productivity, skyrocketing healthcare expenses, and a diminished future for all.
Why MAHA Deserves a United Front
The MAHA movement, under Kennedy’s leadership, calls for a comprehensive, root-cause approach to the chronic disease epidemic. Its priorities are clear and compelling:
• Clean air, water, and food for every American child.
• Accountability for pharmaceutical and food companies that profit from illness rather than prevention.
• A medical system that prioritizes prevention, nutrition, and holistic care over lifelong dependence on drugs.
• Transparency and integrity in government health agencies, with a focus on science and the public interest.
These are not radical ideas-they are common sense. They echo the best of American tradition: bold leadership, innovation, and a commitment to the wellbeing of the next generation.
A Call to Democrats and the Media
For too long, the Democratic Party and much of the media have ceded the health narrative to special interests, regulatory capture, and the status quo. The time has come to break with old divisions and join a movement that puts children’s health above politics.
Supporting MAHA does not mean abandoning science or embracing conspiracy. It means demanding better science, greater transparency, and a relentless focus on prevention and root causes. It means holding industry and government accountable for the health of our children-not just for today, but for generations to come.
A National Security Imperative
As Dr. Stephanie Ettinger De Cuba, a leading health policy expert, warns, the health of our most vulnerable children is not a niche issue-it impacts us all, regardless of race, class, or background1. The economic toll of health disparities alone is estimated at $451 billion annually, a burden we can no longer afford1. Our military readiness, workforce productivity, and social fabric all depend on a healthy, resilient next generation.
The Path Forward
The MAHA movement is not perfect. Critics have raised concerns about recent restructuring at HHS and the need to ensure that health equity and minority health offices are strengthened, not weakened, in the pursuit of reform1. These are legitimate debates that must be addressed with transparency and accountability.
But the central truth remains: America cannot afford another lost generation. Our children deserve better. The time for incrementalism is over.
We call on Democrats, Republicans, and the media to unite behind a new health revolution. Support the MAHA movement. Demand bold action. Make America Healthy Again-because the future of our nation depends on it.
This editorial reflects the urgency and vision of a nation at a crossroads, and the opportunity to rally around the health of our children as the defining cause of our time.
Part 2 to follow next wee where we lay out our strategic commitment to ensure the MAHA movement won’t lose momentum but will grow a large committed following.
I hope the event goes well. I would go if I could just for the sake of being near like minded people but honestly it's hard to be very celebratory right now. It's good that RFK went after the food dyes, but MAHA cheerleaders are celebrating without even knowing what will replace them. I wouldn't rule out something even more toxic and Bill Gates is dying to get mRNA into the food supply. That's often the way it goes. After all we've been through with covid and mRNA insanity, it should be clear to everyone that nothing will ever change, at least for the better, at HHS/FDA/CDC. I think the money is best spent going directly into consumer education at Warp Speed. We need much bigger numbers of well informed consumers badgering the hell out of Congress and State legislatures to turn the vaccine titanic around.
First thank you for being an engineer, inventor of the optical mouse, a venture capitalist who has a good heart to take the blinders off and apply that "practice due diligence", so used for evaluation of portfolio startups, to looking at the very poor data regarding covid vaccines and proving via hard data that the covid vaccines are absolutely NOT safe and effective in any way. (I haven't seen other VCs come near this space publicly .)
Second, I wish I could be there Friday night but sigh, I can't.
Third, why don't you provide a live steaming link for your audience that can't attend if we pay say $50 to $75 to attend via web link so we can hear you, Del Bigtree and other speakers speak?
Just a thought.
Bless you, thank you again 🙏 💓 for all your hard work. Wish I could be there.
