"The newest evangelists of the Make America Healthy Again lifestyle aren’t muscled bros crushing reps or wellness moms posting about vaccine schedules — they’re high-school- and college-aged young women...For many of them, the path to MAHA followed a similar trajectory: chronic health problems, disappointing encounters with the medical establishment and a search for more satisfying answers."

@bich Nobody sensible disagrees with the idea of a healthy lifestyle, BUT, Kennedy hasn't the first fucking clue what he's talking about. Anyone who follows him is NOT making healthy choices. More fool them. Sadly they impact others with their idiocy and chasing their fifteen minutes of influencer fame.

@nomdeb @bich It seems that it will be the swing of a pendulum; enough infectious disease deaths (in the public mind) to demand action...Public Health is a victim of its own successes...
