RFK Jr. to the rescue?

Health attitudes are changing under his leadership -

The healthcare debate in Washington is one of the fiercest and most consequential of our time—and it's no mystery why.   Unlike education or labor policy, which touch segments of the population, healthcare is universal. Every American participates in the healthcare system. And with over a trillion dollars at stake, it is more than a political battle. It is in fact a battle of philosophies: of life and death, of the human person, and of the very meaning of health.   This is precisely what makes the philosophical pivot at the Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. so significant.   In a story that received little coverage last week, Secretary Kennedy openly questioned a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention list of "accomplishments" which he pointed out included the celebration of abortion. He also raised long-overdue concerns about fluoridation in water and the safety of widely mandated vaccines.   What makes this moment so full of promise is Kennedy's willingness to challenge the corrosive assumption that pregnancy is a disease to be "managed" rather than a gift to be safeguarded.   An important issue in this regard is protocol and safety surrounding the abortion drug, mifepristone. In an exchange with Senator James Lankford (R-OK) today on Capitol Hill, Secretary Kennedy pointed out that new data is coming in and is all being taken into account. He also stressed the need for maintaining high standards and revealed, "We know that during the Biden administration they actually twisted the data to bury one of the safety signals, a very high safety signal."   Kennedy's shift in perspective is not merely semantic; it is civilizational. By restoring a proper understanding of biology and affirming the natural processes of the human body, Secretary Kennedy is helping to reorient public health policy toward healing, not harm.   Rather than treating the human body as a liability best controlled by pharmaceutical intervention, Kennedy is calling us to consider small, meaningful changes—diet, environmental factors, and chemical exposure—that support long-term wellness. He is asking uncomfortable, yet necessary, questions about the link between rising rates of autism, autoimmune disease, and our increasingly aggressive vaccine schedules. In a courageous move, Kennedy recently restructured the CDC's vaccine advisory committee, which had long been populated by individuals with strong financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. In his words, it had devolved into little more than a "rubber stamp." Integrity and science, not industry lobbyists, must guide decisions about what enters our bodies and the bodies of our children.   His leadership also extends to the nutritional realm. Our food supply, riddled with synthetic additives and ingredients unrecognizable to the average consumer, is in urgent need of reform. Must one truly possess a degree in chemistry to understand what they are feeding their family?   Even language is under scrutiny. A high-ranking CDC official recently insisted on using the term "pregnant people" in his resignation, illuminating a troubling trend: the rejection of basic biological truths by those tasked with safeguarding public health. This is not just a quibble over words. It's a window into an ideology that has lost its mooring in reality.   The fight for healthcare reform is, at its core, a fight for the dignity of the human person. To build a civilization in which we can flourish, we must begin with policies that respect the inherent wisdom of the human body and the sacredness of its design.   Today's hearings on Capitol Hill underscored that message even more: Kennedy bravely opposed the pharmaceutical lies associated with the COVID rollout and the politicization of our healthcare system.   As a former Democrat and the highest polling member of Trump's Cabinet, he may be better positioned than anyone to question the ideological and interest-based capture. As they said about Nixon–no one else could have gone to China.   Under Kennedy, we are witnessing more than a policy shift—we are witnessing the re-humanization of healthcare. Onward with the MAHA revolution.   Go forward bravely, Kelsey Reinhardt President, CatholicVote Paid for by CatholicVote Civic Action, a 501(c)(4) organization.
