On Sept. 9, the White House and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a new 20-page report, titled “Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy.” The defining goal of the landmark paper was as follows: “The Trump administration is mobilizing every part of government to confront the childhood chronic disease epidemic.”

When reading it, you see a plethora of promising goals: Digging into the root causes of autism—the implication being that vaccines may be one of those causes—and more generally “investigating vaccine injuries.”
All told, there are more than 120 health initiatives in the report.
This includes gathering the best science about the human microbiome (the upper GI and gut bacteria) and its crucial role in human health, along with removing most sweets from the list of approved grocery purchases via the “food stamp” (SNAP) program, among many other ambitious goals.
The report pledges to adhere to “gold-standard science,” while operating on the premise that the quality of America’s health sciences has been severely lacking for a long time. It involves a coalition of 13 federal departments focusing on improving children’s health, and, by extension, public health in general, via a broad range of actions concerning nutrition, re-focused medical treatments and improved technology. It also takes into account key environmental factors.
That coalition consists of the HHS, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the National Institutes of Health, the Administration for Children and Families, the Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Even the Defense Department, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and the Federal Trade Commission are integrally involved.
This project stems from the president’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, created via Executive Order 14212 on Feb. 13—the very day that RFK, a lawyer by trade, was confirmed as HHS secretary, having survived his less-than-stellar performance during intense questioning at his confirmation hearings.
There, RFK appeared wishy-washy, unwilling or unable to clarify his medical worldview and goals, especially regarding vaccines, even though far-reaching plans for healthcare changes had already taken shape.
RFK formerly led the Children’s Health Defense organization, through which he questioned America’s over-emphasis on vaccines as part of an ongoing exploration on what’s causing serious childhood illnesses. He is likely the only person with the requisite philosophy and ambition to lead such a serious multi-agency investigation into the health decline of American kids to begin with. Thus, the timing suggests that the White House was confident RFK would survive his Senate probe and head the HHS.
Hopefully, this overall plan will look beyond the century-old conventional allopathic medical system and depart from that system’s over-emphasis on symptoms and instead dig deeper into the root causes of illness.
The White House added in a prepared statement:
To turn the tide and better protect our children … we will begin reversing the childhood chronic disease crisis by confronting its root causes—not just its symptoms. … After a century of costly and ineffective approaches, the federal government will lead a coordinated transformation of our food, health, and scientific systems.
Poor diet from overly processed foods, along with chemical exposures (glyphosate from RoundUp, etc.), lack of exercise, chronic stress, and over-prescribing medications all are high on the list of problems needing solutions, as are air and water quality. Seeking to reduce micro-plastics, those tiny fragments that turn up in countless places, such as plastic cutting boards, some toothbrushes and plastic eating utensils, is yet another important goal.
Notably, improving water quality includes further reducing the presence of fluoride in public water, given the known links between fluoride intake and reduced IQ in children. Moreover, there are plans to determine “gaps in knowledge” about the health effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in this age of dense digital systems consisting of Wi-Fi, smart phones, smart meters, and 5G towers. Cancers and other serious health issues have been linked to EMR exposure.
Regarding dietary matters, the strategy report, beyond seeking to reduce processed-food and sugar intake among kids, goes a step further and calls for “food for health,” which is reminiscent of a statement attributed to the Greek physician Hippocrates: “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”
Furthermore, there are plans for improving data collection and analysis regarding vaccine injuries to be carried out by the HHS in partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—through a “new vaccine injury research program at the NIH’s Clinical Center” that may expand to additional centers nationally.
“We’re ending the corporate capture of public health,” RFK was quoted as promising, amid the release of the strategy report. And one could hardly find a better example of such “corporate capture” than the unwarranted, exalted status that corporately produced vaccines are given in the realm of healthcare.
Overall, the strategy report looks good. Yet, precisely due to its welcome comprehensiveness and ambition, this plan, called “the most sweeping reform in modern history,” will require firm dedication to enact and complete, a tough thing for an already busy Trump administration.
Therefore, the American people need to pay close attention here, as members of Congress and media beholden to drug company interests, amid various other factions, will want this plan scuttled. The health of our children—future generations—should come first.
