The podcast by Dr. David Ruttenberg, critiques the leaked "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) draft strategy, co-authored by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Trump White House.
Ruttenberg argues that the MAHA strategy recycles thoroughly debunked science by reviving the disproven link between childhood vaccines and autism.
The author outlines four key takeaways, asserting that the draft manufactures problems to justify unnecessary "solutions," uses "radical transparency" as a guise to re-litigate settled scientific consensus, and deregulates other industries while strictly scrutinizing vaccines.
Ultimately, Ruttenberg concludes that stoking fear about autism endangers autistic individuals and diverts resources from genuinely needed support services.
