Summary

RFK Jr. is now running the Department of Health and Human Services. So we sat down with journalist and Conspirituality co-host Derek Beres to get an idea about how long it will take for Kennedy’s "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) agenda to revive the black plague. We chat about why Beres argues that Kennedy's wellness-sounding platform masks an exclusionary health vision which amounts to “soft eugenics,” RFK Jr’s endorsement of the MMR vaccine and how this angered his followers, harmful narratives about autism which will probably be endorsed by the federal government, and how the MAHA Commission's AI-generated report doesn’t seriously address health problems facing children.

1:10.0	killed, or oppressed by either
1:11.8	incompetence or malice. But when we're talking about the health policy of the United States,
1:16.9	a major screw-up can affect hundreds of millions of people, not just in the U.S., but all over the
1:21.9	world. I think I speak for everybody in a country that is not the United States in saying,
1:26.7	you are dead wrong, sir.
1:28.7	And Americans should pay the price for being in the evil empire that they are.
1:33.1	And if that price is reawakening ancient diseases that have not existed since medieval times,
