This is the clearest, most accurate depiction of RFK and his followers’ belief system. I lost many a family member to MAHA, too.

RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill.
Public health, modern medicine and disease mitigation will suffer under RFK Jr. because he sees sick people- not sickness- as the problem.

They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.
