RFK Jr.'s MAHA push reshapes public appetite for regulating Big Food and Drugs, POLITICO finds

A POLITICO poll of 3,851 U.S. adults finds broad bipartisan support for regulating food and drug makers, with Republicans more aligned than Democrats to restrictions on ultraprocessed foods, dyes, pesticides, and junk-food advertising; Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again agenda is pushing corporate reform, prompting brands to tweak recipes and push for tighter FDA oversight while lobbying climbs. The findings highlight a GOP fault line over MAHA priorities and a public trend toward viewing corporate America as corrupt, pressuring executives to adjust PR and policy positions even as Trump leans into tougher regulation in some areas.

RFK Jr.'s Lyme pledge collides with vaccine history as Pfizer pushes a new jab

RFK Jr., as HHS secretary, pledges stronger action on Lyme disease with better diagnostics and treatment, but his anti-vaccine stance complicates Pfizer/Valneva’s plan to file a Lyme vaccine—the first in more than two decades. The prior Lyme vaccine Lymerix faced safety questions and weak uptake, illustrating the challenges Pfizer now faces, even as Lyme incidence rises with climate-driven tick expansion and researchers pursue vaccines and other preventive tools.

Meat, Money, and Momentum: RFK Jr.'s Carnivore Conundrum

A Defector opinion piece argues that food and politics collide in RFK Jr.’s carnivore stance, criticizing his health/policy messaging and suggesting the Trump era would weaponize food policy (including food stamps) for political gain, while noting rising beef prices, global tensions affecting farming costs, and critiques of Kennedy’s influence on public health discourse.

Cheryl Hines Pushes Back at Chelsea Handler's 'Toxic' Home Claim

Cheryl Hines dismissed Chelsea Handler’s claim that she and RFK Jr. sold Handler a “toxic” home, saying the timing seems aimed at getting attention and that she left Handler her contact info and a personal note when the house was sold. Handler had described issues with the Los Angeles property—including a supposed unsafe foundation and illegal storage—after buying it five years ago, but Hines argues the allegations don’t hold water.

Oregon Judge Blocks Kennedy's Transgender-Care Decree as Overreach

A federal judge in Oregon ruled that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s December declaration that gender-transition care for minors does not meet professionally recognized standards overstepped federal authority and bypassed standard rulemaking, granting temporary relief to hospitals and providers while the lawsuit brought by 21 states proceeds; the decision is likely to be appealed.

RFK Jr.'s vaccine rhetoric linked to Michigan toddler vaccination dip, Reuters finds

Reuters analysis of Michigan’s monthly data shows a sharp drop in toddlers completing the seven-shot immunization series, down to 66.5% by January 2026 from January 2025 (about 13 times the usual annual change). White toddlers’ rate fell to 67.5% and Hispanic toddlers to 69.8%, with Kennedy’s anti-vaccine messaging identified as a key influence for white families and deportation-era fears reducing Latino clinic visits. Health officials warn that rising unvaccinated levels threaten herd immunity and increase vulnerability to outbreaks.
