Todays flash on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. HHS Secretary and MAHA crusader whos been stirring the pot like its his full-time job.

In the past week RFK Jr. dominated headlines with a bombshell 60 Minutes interview where CBS reports he vowed to tackle ultra-processed foods calling them poison that leaves Americans obscenely obese yet malnourished. He plans to act on ex-FDA chief David Kesslers petition for overhauls promising an informed public without jumping straight to bans though Kessler clapped back disagreeing hard on vaccines. That aired around February 15 and its got biographers buzzing for its potential to reshape food policy long-term.

Just days ago on February 13 the National Governors Association site says Kennedy hit Colorado Springs for their summer meeting joining governors in a fireside chat on Make America Healthy Again priorities like nutrition preventive care and rural health. He preached giving kids a real shot at physical and mental health opportunities we cant ignore.

Shakeups keep coming STAT News details major HHS turmoil with Deputy Secretary Jim ONeill and General Counsel Mike Stuart out after a year under Kennedy plus four political appointees elevated to senior roles for midterm pushes on drug pricing and food. POLITICO caught an internal email from last week naming new counselors to sync policy across agencies.

Critics arent quiet the LA Times blasts him for pledging radical transparency yet delaying data on overdoses smoking abortions and purging trans health info from sites while his team insists hes the most open HHS ever. AP notes halted surveillance and unreleased ethics forms for his anti-vax ACIP picks amid measles surges tied to his schedule tweaks. And that Theo Von podcast from February 12 where he quipped Im not scared of a germ I used to snort cocaine off toilet seats yeah that went viral sparking resignation calls but he doubled down on reforms.
