S2.E1. MAHA Strategy Part 1: What "Advancing Research" Actually Means

Season 2 is here, and we're opening with a topic that has been a frequent flyer: the MAHA Strategy Report. If you followed our MOCHA series in Season 1, you already know the diagnosis — poor diet, chemical exposures, physical inactivity, and overmedicalization. Now the MAHA Commission is back with their so-called playbook. Today we're putting Pillar One — Advancing Research — under the nursing microscope.
Spoiler: "gold standard science" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for a document with little meat and zero citations.
We break down the 14 research priorities the Commission laid out, explain why several of them function as dog whistles for the health freedom crowd, and track what has actually happened since the Strategy dropped. From the reinstatement of a long-disbanded vaccine safety task force to the quiet dismantling of the very agencies designed to protect us from chemical exposures, the gap between the promise and the reality is… wide.
We also introduce you to Andrew Downing — and no, he is not from Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill.
