Make America Healthy Again

Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) is an American populist slogan and political movement led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services in the second Trump administration. The MAHA movement is centered around wellness, health, and political positions championed by Kennedy and his supporters. The slogan and movement were popularized after the suspension of Kennedy's independent presidential campaign in August 2024 and his endorsement of then-Republican nominee Donald Trump. The phrase "Make America Healthy Again" is derived from Trump's political slogan, Make America Great Again.

Main purported causes of the movement include claims there is a chronic illness epidemic in the United States, advocating for what they believe are healthier lifestyle choices (including drinking raw milk, taking dietary supplements and adopting various fad diets), suggesting that autism is caused by environmental effects (especially vaccines) and therefore need to be cured through detoxification, and contending that corruption in the food and pharmaceutical industries is a major source of health problems.

Scientists, medical professionals, and public health officials have criticized the movement, citing concerns about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s previous remarks about vaccines and public health.
