RFK Is Gloating That His Changes to HHS Are Permanent

At the MAHA Summit, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared that the transformative changes he has implemented at HHS are irreversible, much to the delight of his supporters. Despite his current status, Kennedy confidently assured the audience that HHS would remain fundamentally altered, even if he were to meet a tragic end.

This proclamation was part of a larger MAHA event, where Kennedy made controversial claims, including his belief that artificial intelligence is "better informed" than doctors.

Claire Dooley, a filmmaker known for her involvement in anti-vaccine films, reported on Kennedy's remarks during a private reception. She described Kennedy's comments to The MAHA Report, a Substack published by MAHA Action, Inc., an organization primarily tasked with promoting Kennedy's reforms. Dooley emphasized that the organization's purpose is to celebrate Kennedy's sweeping changes at HHS.

Kennedy's remarks highlighted his pride in the movement's progress, telling the crowd, "We're about to have our day in the sunshine." These remarks were widely circulated by MAHA Action, which is known for its enthusiastic support of Kennedy's policies. Analysts have criticized Kennedy's approach to HHS, citing significant setbacks such as a reduction of nearly a third of the agency's staff and the struggle to fulfill its core responsibilities.

Moreover, Kennedy's attempts to overhaul HHS's vaccine policies have faced controversy and legal challenges, leading to the suspension of important advisory bodies. While Kennedy's supporters tout these changes, recent polling shows that six in ten voters disapprove of his work as HHS secretary, indicating widespread discontent with his vaccine agenda.
