The MAHA movement, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has become increasingly normalized. Recently, STAT News published op-eds from a public health scientist and a MAHA activist. The articles avoided discussing vaccines, a primary element of MAHA's anti-vaccine activism. The public health scientist, Monica Wang, suggested that public health can learn from MAHA's focus on healthy diet and lifestyle. However, critics argue that this narrative ignores MAHA's problematic roots in anti-vaccine activism. The MAHA activist, Aaron Everitt, claimed that public health is not the enemy, but rather the system is.
