MAHA caucus member pledges to probe public health sector captive to ‘Big Pharma’
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., a prominent member of the newly formed Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) senatorial caucus, is on a mission to tackle what he calls the “corruption of science” within the public health system. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Senator Johnson revealed that one of the first hearings he plans to hold as chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations will focus on this critical issue.
The MAHA caucus, created in December by Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, aims to address various health-related issues such as nutrition, access to high-quality foods, improving primary care, and tackling chronic diseases. Senator Johnson emphasized that the caucus is nonpartisan, despite its current membership being predominantly Republican.
One of the key areas of investigation for the MAHA caucus will be the childhood vaccine schedule and potential theories surrounding the cause of autism. Senator Johnson expressed his desire to hold hearings to address unanswered questions and conduct research with integrity to provide clarity on these topics.
According to Senator Johnson, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the scientific community have been influenced by the interests of Big Pharma and figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The senator believes that MAHA’s goal is to eliminate corporate influence in federal health agencies and refocus their efforts on serving the American public.
In an effort to empower doctors and prioritize patient care, Senator Johnson mentioned a potential bill called the “Right to Treat,” which would restore doctors to the top of the treatment pyramid. He criticized the current system where non-practicing physicians like Dr. Fauci dictate medical practices, leaving practicing doctors at the bottom of the hierarchy.
The confirmation of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by the Senate has further fueled the MAHA movement. Kennedy, known for his outspoken views on Big Pharma and Big Food, is committed to addressing the rise in chronic illnesses and promoting a healthier America.
Since taking office, Kennedy has faced backlash from federal employees following Trump’s sweeping firings across various federal departments, including HHS. Despite the challenges, Kennedy remains resolute in his mission to combat health issues and restore integrity to the scientific community.
In conclusion, the MAHA caucus, led by Senator Ron Johnson, is poised to spearhead efforts to address the corruption of science in public health and promote a healthier future for all Americans. With a focus on transparency, integrity, and empowering healthcare professionals, the caucus aims to bring about meaningful change in the nation’s health system.
