Kennedy says the report is the “diagnosis” — “prescription” coming in 60 days…
Robert F. Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) report was released on Thursday, detailing the sad state of childhood health in America.
“After a century of costly and ineffective approaches, the federal government will lead a coordinated transformation of our food, health, and scientific systems,” the report, released Thursday and reviewed by Fox News Digital, outlined. “This strategic realignment will ensure that all Americans—today and in the future—live longer, healthier lives, supported by systems that prioritize prevention, wellbeing, and resilience.”
From Fox News:
The report’s findings include teenage depression nearly doubling from 2009 to 2019, more than one-in-five children over the age of 6 being considered obese, one-in-31 children diagnosed with autism by age 8 and childhood cancer spiking by 40% since 1975.
“Over 40% of the roughly 73 million children (aged 0-17) in the United States have at least one chronic health condition, according to the CDC, such as asthma, allergies, obesity, autoimmune diseases, or behavioral disorders,” the report stated. “Although estimates vary depending on the conditions included, all studies show an alarming increase over time.”
Chronic diseases have a chilling effect on national security, commission members said in a Thursday morning phone call with the media. Roughly 75% of America’s youth aged 17–24 do not qualify to serve in the military due to obesity, asthma, allergies, autoimmune diseases or behavioral disorders, they said.
“We now have the most obese, depressed, disabled, medicated population in the history of the world, and we cannot keep going down the same road,” Food and Drug Commissioner Marty Makary said in the phone call with the media. “So this is an amazing day. I hope this marks the grand pivot from a system that is entirely reactionary to a system that will now be proactive.”
During a press conference on the report on Thursday, RFK Jr. revealed America’s healthcare costs are the most expensive in the world, and America has “the most drugged children in the world.”
