Allies of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of the MAHA movement met on a panel at the Willard Hotel to discuss vaccines and argued that the childhood vaccination schedule must be abolished and all vaccines removed from the market until their safety and efficacy can be proven[2]. MAHA Institute President Mark Gorton said that HHS has commissioned more than 100 vaccine injury studies[2]. The event referred to a "massive epidemic of vaccine injury" (MEVI), with nearly 1,300 reported cases of measles in 2026[2]. As Secretary of Health, Kennedy reduced the number of government-recommended vaccines and supports new guidelines to replace ultra-processed foods with red meat and whole milk[4]. His team is planning a national tour and television campaign to support the MAHA agenda before the 2026 midterm elections, including the fight against food additives[1]. Nearly 30 states have already passed MAHA-friendly laws this year, for example, Arizona banned school meals with certain additives and Texas expanded nutrition labeling[1]. The health secretary was rarely discussed at the meeting, and the Trump administration considers vaccine skepticism politically risky[2][3]. Kennedy emphasizes freedom of parental choice regarding childhood vaccines as important to public health[3].
