Today, Robert F. Kennedy will rally supporters at a MAHA Summit in Washington closed to the press. In response, 314 Action Executive Director Erik Polyak released the following statement:
“Today, RFK Jr. will slam the door shut on the free press and proclaim ‘radical transparency’ at a pseudoscience MAHA pep rally in Washington. This closed-door convention is nothing more than an ego-stroking symposium of “wellbeing influencers” and “MAHA moms” whose rejection of scientific expertise puts our public health at risk.
“From psychedelics to surveillance, the agenda does nothing for over 24 million Americans who are facing a health care crisis that Republicans created. While Republicans in Congress continue to play political football with the Affordable Care Act, RFK Jr. should be spending his time as the Secretary of Health and Human Services standing up for the health care of millions of Americans—not plotting panel discussions with Big Pharma and phonies.”
