Trump just dismantled the lies about RFK Jr. and vaccines on live TV.

No—RFK is not going to take away your vaccines.

Yes—RFK is going to find out the truth of the chronic disease crisis.

Watch this incredible exchange:🧵 Image
REPORTER: “Do you believe there's a connection between vaccines and autism?”

TRUMP: “Look, right now, you have some very brilliant people looking at it.

I had dinner the other night with the head of Pfizer, the head of Eli Lilly, and, RFK, as you know, and Oz … If you look at autism 30 years ago, I've heard numbers of like 1 in 200,000, 1 in 100,000. Now, I'm hearing numbers of 1 in 100.

So something's wrong. There's something wrong, and we're gonna find out about it.”
Trump said that RFK Jr. is going to be “much less radical” than corporate media tells you.

REPORTER: “What do you say to people who are worried that RFK Jr.’s views on vaccines will translate into policies that'll make their kids less safe?”

TRUMP: “I think he's gonna be much less radical than you would think. I think he's got a very open mind, or I wouldn't have put him there.

But there are problems. I mean, we don't do as well as a lot of other nations, and those nations use nothing. We're gonna find out what those problems are.

We're paying far too much because we're paying much more than other countries and we have laws that make it impossible to reduce.

We're gonna get drug costs down at levels that nobody has ever seen before.”

REPORTER: “What about the polio vaccine?”

TRUMP: “Well … I think everything should be looked at, but I'm a big believer in the polio vaccine.”
Trump made it clear that his Administration will OPPOSE vaccine mandates.

REPORTER: “Do you think schools should mandate vaccines?”

TRUMP: “I don't like mandates. I'm not a big mandate person. So, you know, I was against mandates.

Mostly Democrat governors did the mandates … they made a big mistake, having to do with the education of children.

They lost a year or two years of their lives. The mandate was a bad thing.”
REPORTER: “Do you want RFK Jr. to revoke any vaccines?”

TRUMP: “No, I want him to come back with a report as to what he thinks.”

“You’re not gonna lose the polio vaccine. That's not gonna happen.”

“I think you're gonna find that Bobby is a very rational guy. I found him to be very rational.”

“We're doing two things. We're gonna have tremendous cost savings … That's a minimum. And we're also gonna have, and I think, very serious discussions about certain things … Europe doesn't use pesticides, and yet they have a better mortality rate than we do.

So, we're gonna have reports.

I saw what happened with the polio. I have friends that were very much affected by that. I have friends from many years ago and they're still in not such good shape because of it.”

RFK Jr., Dr. Makary, Dr. Bhattacharya, and Dr. Oz just laid out their vision for the future of HHS.

Here’s what they said—and why it matters.

Thread🧵 Image
RFK Jr. opened the interview with Bret Baier by highlighting how uniquely close his relationship is with the heads of his agencies.

“We're friends. We go to lunch together. We stay at each other's homes. We vacation together. We're also aligned in our vision.”

“Friendship is based upon shared values, and that's the strongest bond that holds people together.”

“We all share a vision that's been a lifelong vision for all of us, which is to make our country healthy, to have evidence based science, and to have gold standard replicable science.”
The men then went around the room, each outlining their agency’s goals.

Dr. Makary was first up.

“We wanna focus the FDA on cures and meaningful treatments.”

“Why does it take ten years on average for drugs to come to market”

“Why are we blaming children for being sick and not looking at our food supply?”

“Why are we thinking it's a willpower problem as we watch half of our nation's children with belly pain or attention deficit disorder on medications?”

The media is lying to you—again.

They’re calling RFK Jr.’s autism database “invasive” and “dangerous.”

But what they aren’t telling you is that using Medicare and Medicaid data for disease research is standard government practice.

They’ve never objected—until now.

Thread🧵 Image
RFK Jr.’s plan is simple—and it’s already underway.

NIH and CMS just announced a landmark partnership to build a real-world data platform focused first on autism.

They’ll analyze Medicare and Medicaid claims, electronic medical records, and wearable data—with full compliance to privacy laws.

It’s not invasive. It’s not forced. It’s based on existing data from those already enrolled in federal programs.

“We’re pulling back the curtain—with full transparency and accountability—to deliver the honest answers families have waited far too long to hear.” — RFK Jr.

This is the pilot for something bigger: uncovering root causes of chronic disease and improving care nationwide.

But the media wants you to believe it’s some kind of dystopian surveillance plot.

Because telling the truth doesn’t serve their agenda.Image
And just like that—the media went into full RFK Jr. derangement mode.

Instead of applauding a serious effort to understand autism, they smeared it as “dangerous” and “extreme.”

Not because of what it is—but because he’s the one doing it. Image

What a week for MAHA!

Major victories and bold leadership are fueling unstoppable momentum.

Check out this week’s biggest moments for the MAHA movement.

Thread🧵 Image
Before diving in, this week wasn’t just packed with big MAHA wins—it also marked a major celebration: the first 100 days.

Check out our thread below for a breakdown of what we’ve accomplished together so far.
MAHA kicked off the week with RFK Jr. joining Dr. Phil.

He dropped major news—including plans to explore banning pharmaceutical ads, a move that should fire up the entire movement.

“There is a very bad Supreme Court decision on free speech and commercial advertising.”

“When you buy a pharmaceutical drug, my agency in most cases is gonna have to pay for it.”

“So the taxpayers are paying for it.”

“So it's a very unusual product in that way.”

“The taxpayers are paying for the ad, and then the person who gets that product is billing the government for it.”

“We're looking at this now with the White House, and ways we can get by that Supreme Court decision.”

🇺🇸 100 Days of MAHA 🇺🇸

Under President Trump and RFK Jr, America is beginning to reclaim its health.

The Make America Healthy Again initiative has delivered results in just 100 days.

Here’s what’s changed so far…

Thread🧵 Image
The MAHA Commission was launched on February 14 under Executive Order 14212.

Its mission is to tackle the childhood chronic disease epidemic.

Initial strategy proposals are due by May 24.

Final recommendations will come by August 12.
The FDA is eliminating petroleum-based food dyes like Red No. 40 and Yellow No. 5.

These dyes have been linked to behavioral and health issues in children.

Natural alternatives are being fast-tracked for approval.

The transition is set to be completed by the end of next year.

Calley Means just told a room full of Food and Pharma lobbyists that they’re poisoning kids.

Lobbyists kept leaving the room with every bombshell he dropped.

“We're the most medicated country in the world—and we're the sickest.”

Watch this incredible interview:🧵 Image
MAHA is not left or right.

MAHA is about unraveling corporate capture.

Calley Means: “Taking a $10 billion subsidy away from soda for kids is not a violation of conservative principles.”

“Is there something not conservative about the USDA nutrition guidelines saying that little children should not eat added sugar and they should eat whole food?”

“This is a corporate capture issue.”

“When the American Beverage Association lobbies tens of millions of dollars to subvert our nutrition programs for low-income children, and subvert our nutrition guidance, 19 out of the 20 advisors on this past USDA nutrition guideline committee were paid for by the food industry or the pharma industry.”

“Correcting those structural imbalances, that bastardization of the market, is an imperative for a free market.”

“We are cutting the incentives and we are driving transparency.”
Lobbyists immediately started leaving the room.

But he was far from done:🧵

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz just announced a plan to revolutionize Medicaid.

For too long, Big Pharma has profited from sickness.

The more sick we are, the more money they make.

RFK and Dr. Oz’s crazy idea is this:

Payments should depend on whether the drug actually works.

🧵Thread Image
RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz just announced an innovative plan to tie Medicaid drug payments to successful results.

“The basic idea is intuitive: payments to manufacturers based on whether the drug actually works for patients.”

“CMS negotiated with manufacturers of the FDA-approved gene therapies for sickle cell disease to create an innovative payment structure.”

“The result was a novel kind of public/private partnership.”

“We anticipate learning from this model and adapting it for future applications.”

“We believe it promises long term savings for the states, but also improving access for Medicaid beneficiaries.”
The mainstream media is hysterical about budget cuts to our health agencies.

But more money has not given us better results.

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz’s plan will reduce costs and improve care—at the same time.🧵
