The MAHA Institute is hosting its inaugural event—bringing long overdue attention to issues ignored for decades.
For years, people have fought for medical freedom without a real platform.
Now, they finally have one.
Thread🧵
Co-President Tony Lyons opened by outlining the MAHA Institute’s core goals.
“I've known Bobby Kennedy for more than fifteen years.”
“I have no doubt whatsoever that he was put on this planet to do the work that he's doing now.”
“The MAHA movement has the ability to set up a system where we can really be a city on a hill.”
“We can really be the kind of country that we all want it to be, and we can protect our children.”
“That's what we're gonna do as the MAHA Institute.”
“We're gonna be an incubator for ideas, for policies that really impact the American people.”
“The MAHA movement is really about mothers.”
“It's about mothers wanting to take care of their children, and they see that their children have been poisoned.”
“Half the children in The United States have a chronic disease. That has to change.”
“This is the time to address them.”
Co-President Mark Gorton followed, sharing the origins of the MAHA Institute.
“The MAHA Institute is born out of the MAHA Movement, which comes from Bobby Kennedy's campaign for President.”
“All of us here are used to how government in America typically runs, where the large corporate interests dominate the system and they control the outcomes of our government.”
“There have been people around the country who have been fighting this for years against enormous odds.”
“And now through really one of the most inspiring movements in American history, all of these people around the country have coalesced into the MAHA movement, which carried Donald Trump into office and Bobby Kennedy into the leadership of HHS.”
“The MAHA Institute is serving the function of helping to coordinate and channel the energy of all of these people around the country and connect them with people in government.”
Calley Means spoke next, explaining how MAHA is striking fear into DC lobbyists.
“We're on the precipice now of being able to have an adult conversation about the facts.”
“It's shocking to me how many lobbyists come in, and they're not lobbying for policy.”
“They're saying it's gonna scare the American people to get facts out.”
“They're putting so much pressure on President Trump and so much pressure on Secretary Kennedy to not release facts about these foundational factors that are impacting our metabolic health.”
“The statement from the administration is we are going to have a discussion about facts.”
“We are gonna get the facts on the table.”
“We are gonna change the world.”
Mary Holland of Children’s Health Defense followed, emphasizing how MAHA is finally giving a voice to those silenced for years.
“I've been in this movement more than 20 years and we have all been waiting for this moment and it is momentous.”
“Children are the most vulnerable in any society.”
“Babies can't talk. Children can't vote. To go to school, they have to be subjected to all kinds of rules. They can't contribute to candidates. They are truly our most vulnerable citizens.”
“I believe that we as adults have a responsibility to our children.”
“To nurture the next generation and to smooth the path for them.”
“I believe that together, we can make it happen.”
Zen Honeycutt of Moms Across America spoke about how, for the first time, an administration is finally addressing the critical issues raised by people like her for years.
“We’re been silenced, we’ve been vilified, and the pushback is all because the government of previous administrations has been hiding critical information that we could use to protect our children and to have our families be healthier again.”
“We have been deeply betrayed by previous administrations.”
“As a former lifelong Democrat come Independent who voted Republican, I am very proud of this current administration and what is happening in America today.”
“Finally, there's an investigation on the cause of autism.”
“Operation Stork Speed is exposing and focusing on baby formula.”
“They're removing food dyes, which is historic.”
“They're looking at glyphosate in vaccines after 9 years of submitting that information to our CDC and FDA.”
“We are at a critical point in history.”
“We mothers are calling on every Republican and Democrat to Make America Healthy Again and to stop accepting the pressure from the corporations.”

RFK Jr. sat down with Brazilian reporter André Marinho for a wide-ranging MAHA interview.
Marinho asked if Trump’s order to tie U.S. drug prices to global lows could raise prices abroad.
RFK Jr. said it’s time the rest of the world stops freeloading off American taxpayers.
Marinho: “Many Brazilians, and I would guess citizens of the whole world, are kind of worried that this could push drug companies to raise prices abroad.”
RFK Jr: “The United States basically pays for global pharmaceutical research.”
“We account for about 70% of the profits for the pharmaceutical industry and we’re only 4.2% of the world's population.”
“The reason for that is that other countries simply won't pay for it.”
“What we've now told the drug companies is whatever the lowest price that you're charging in any other nation, that's what you're gonna charge here.”
“The other countries have kind of gotten a free ride on The United States because they're getting the benefit of all of our research in there.”
“They ought to be paying their fair share.”
“We spend about 8% of our GDP on drugs, and in Europe they spend 3%.”
“We'd like to see them bring that up to maybe like 6%.”
Sen. Ron Johnson held one of the most gut-wrenching Senate hearings ever, titled Voices of the Vaccine Injured.
Families who lost loved ones—or suffered devastating injuries—were finally given a voice.
Their stories were raw, painful, and long overdue.
Thread🧵
Senator Ron Johnson opened the hearing by stating its purpose.
To give a platform to the vaccine injured—and to families whose loved ones paid the ultimate price.
“The purpose of today's hearing is to give a platform to those individuals and families who have been abandoned, their injuries and suffering dismissed and forgotten.”
The hearing was filled with countless heartbreaking testimonies.
One came from Children’s Health Defense’s Polly Tommey, who spoke about the devastating stories she’s heard again and again from families of the vaccine injured.
“We took a bus, and we traveled around America listening to parents and what had happened to them when they vaccinated their children.”
“What we saw was utterly horrific.”
“We saw so much death following baby vaccines.”
“These parents would vaccinate their perfectly healthy child, and then their child would die.”
“I've interviewed so many parents, and one comes to mind.”
“At four months old, Ms. Bundy pleaded with the doctor, ‘Should I vaccinate my child, he's premature?’”
“‘Oh, yes’, said the pediatrician, ‘If you don't vaccinate your baby, he could die of whooping cough.’”
“She vaccinated that baby, and he was dead in his crib.”
“That is the same story we hear over and over again.”
“These childhood vaccinations, the people of America are telling us, they are not safe and effective.”
