The order repeatedly underscores the declining health and fitness of America’s children as its number one priority, noting that ‘the health of Americans is on an alarming trajectory that requires immediate action’ and that this ‘applies urgently to America’s children.’

Shortly after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in as secretary of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), President Trump signed an executive order titled Establishing The President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission (MAHA EO) to investigate and address the root causes of America’s escalating health crisis, with a focus on childhood chronic disease. 

Chaired by Kennedy, the commission has four main policy directives to reverse chronic disease: Empower Americans through transparency and open-source data and avoid conflicts of interest in all federally funded health research; Prioritize gold-standard research on why Americans are getting sick in all health-related research funded by the federal government; Work with farmers to ensure that U.S. food is the healthy, abundant, and affordable; and ensure expanded treatment options and health coverage flexibility for beneficial lifestyle changes and disease prevention. 

“To fully address the growing health crisis in America, we must redirect our national focus, in the public and private sectors, toward understanding and drastically lowering chronic disease rates and ending childhood chronic disease,” declares the order. “This includes fresh thinking on nutrition, physical activity, healthy lifestyles, over-reliance on medication and treatments, the effects of new technological habits, environmental impacts, and food and drug quality and safety.”  

“We must restore the integrity of the scientific process by protecting expert recommendations from inappropriate influence and increasing transparency regarding existing data,” it continues. “We must ensure our healthcare system promotes health rather than just managing disease.” 

The MAHA EO comes at a time when many Americans have lost trust in the nation’s healthcare system and are increasingly skeptical as to whether they are receiving honest answers about the causes of the country’s health crisis and how to improve it.  

The order repeatedly underscores the declining health and fitness of America’s children as its number one priority, noting that “the health of Americans is on an alarming trajectory that requires immediate action,” and that “This concern applies urgently to America’s children.”  

Immediate assessment and strategy to make children healthy again 

At the outset, the commission will “advise and assist the President on how best to exercise his authority to address the childhood chronic disease crisis” and within 100 days, will submit to the president its “Make Our Children Healthy Again Assessment.” 

Within 180 days, the commission will present a “Make our Children Healthy Again Strategy,” “restructuring the Federal Government’s response to the childhood chronic disease crisis, including by ending Federal practices that exacerbate the health crisis or unsuccessfully attempt to address it, and by adding powerful new solutions that will end childhood chronic disease.” 

The order notes that:   

In 2022, an estimated 30 million children (40.7 percent) had at least one health condition, such as allergies, asthma, or an autoimmune disease.  Autism spectrum disorder now affects 1 in 36 children in the United States — a staggering increase from rates of 1 to 4 out of 10,000 children identified with the condition during the 1980s.  Eighteen percent of late adolescents and young adults have fatty liver disease, close to 30 percent of adolescents are prediabetic, and more than 40 percent of adolescents are overweight or obese. 

To fully address the growing health crisis in America, we must redirect our national focus, in the public and private sectors, toward understanding and drastically lowering chronic disease rates and ending childhood chronic disease.  This includes fresh thinking on nutrition, physical activity, healthy lifestyles, over-reliance on medication and treatments, the effects of new technological habits, environmental impacts, and food and drug quality and safety.  We must restore the integrity of the scientific process by protecting expert recommendations from inappropriate influence and increasing transparency regarding existing data.  We must ensure our healthcare system promotes health rather than just managing disease. 

“I have prayed each morning for the past two decades for God to put me in a position to solve the childhood chronic disease epidemic,” Kennedy continued, “and now, thanks to you Mr. President, we will make this promise a reality.”

Trump HHS officially declares only two sexes: ‘Back to science and common sense’

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Calvin Freiburger

The memo concludes by defining “female,” “male,” “woman,” “girl,” “man,” “boy,” “mother,” and “father” accordingly, based on observable scientific fact rather than subjective thoughts or feelings of gender dysphoria.

It is the official policy of the United States once more to maintain a biology-based definition of “sex” across all federal agencies, according to a new memo from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).

The February 19 memo lays out the understanding of sex and related terminology to be used for the purposes of interpreting and abiding by federal rules, regulations, and partnerships.

“There are only two sexes, female and male, because there are only two types of gametes,” it says. “An individual human is either female or male based on whether the person is of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing eggs (ova) or sperm. The sex of a human, female or male, is determined genetically at conception (fertilization), and is observable before birth.”

Sex, the memo continues, “is unchangeable and determined by objective biology. The use of hormones or surgical interventions do not change a person’s sex because such actions do not change the type of gamete that the person’s reproductive system has the biological function to produce. Rare disorders of sexual development do not constitute a third sex because these disorders do not lead to the production of a third gamete.”

The memo concludes by defining “female,” “male,” “woman,” “girl,” “man,” “boy,” “mother,” and “father” accordingly, based on observable scientific fact rather than subjective thoughts or feelings of gender dysphoria.

“It took many years of effort but we are finally back to science and common sense,” reacted Roger Severino, former director of the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in the first Trump administration.

 

It is an article of progressive faith that gender is no more than a matter of self-perception that individuals are free to change at will. But according to modern biology, sex is not a subjective sense of self but an objective scientific reality, established by an individual’s chromosomes from their earliest moments of existence and reflected by hundreds of genetically based characteristics.

Yet for years LGBT activists have worked to promote “gender fluidity,” the idea that sexual identity is separate from biology and discernible only by personal perception, across public educationlibrarieshealth care, and cultural traditions such as beauty contests, school homecomings, and athletic competitions.

Since returning to office, President Donald Trump has taken multiple executive actions to reverse the Biden administration’s transgender policies, including an order that ends all federal support for “transition” procedures on minors, rescinds or amends all of the Biden health bureaucracy’s past endorsements of underage “transitioning,” and calls for a review of the medical literature on the subject, enforcing all existing restrictions on underage “transitioning,” and taking regulatory action to “end” the practice to the greatest extent possible under current law.

Another order prohibits males who claim to be female from competing against actual women in sex-specific athletic programs at schools receiving government funding. A third disqualifies gender-confused individuals from military service and prohibits military health services from conducting “transition” treatments and procedures.

Trudeau government buys 500k bird flu vaccines to be ‘ready’ for potential ‘health threats’

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Anthony Murdoch

Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci spent years funding research to “develop a bird flu pathogen capable of infecting humans,” as Alexis Baden-Mayer showed in an article published last year. Some of this gain-of-function research has taken place  in U.S. Department of Defense-funded biolabs in Ukraine 

The federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has bought 500,000 doses of bird flu vaccines for humans to be “ready” for any future “potential health threats.” 

Canada’s Public Health Agency announced yesterday it purchased GSK’s human vaccine against avian influenza. The agency says the jabs will not be distributed to people at this point but notes that 60 percent of the doses will go to all provinces and territories with the rest going into a large federal stockpile. 

According to the Public Health Agency, the jabs are to be ready to be given to those who are considered at increased risk such as those who are in contact with animals.  

As of now, the Public Health Agency says the risk of a bird flu outbreak in the general public is low, however, on November 9, Canada reported its first domestic human case of the bird flu.  

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Dr. Peter McCullough, a highly published cardiologist, has said gain-of-function research is a likely explanation for a “jump” in bird flu animal-to-human cases, alluding to the fact that it has historically only been detected in animals. He called for a shutdown of U.S. gain-of-function labs and warned that animal culling and bird flu vaccines would only create “more resistant strains.” 

Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, who is a strong proponent of the COVID shots, said that by buying the bird flu jabs, “we are enhancing our capacity to protect people in Canada and respond rapidly to emerging public health challenges.” 

When it comes to the bird flu, recently, Dr. Robert Malone, a virologist and pioneer-turned-critic of mRNA technology, said U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is having high-level discussions about distributing bird flu mRNA “vaccines.” 

Malone pointed out that Dr. Gerald Parker, DVM, who was recently appointed the White House Pandemic czar, is a “big fan” of Peter Hotez, a radical pro-vaccine scientist who has claimed that anti-vaccine activism is a “major killing force globally.” 

Dr. Joseph Mercola also pointed out in 2022 that Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci have spent years funding research to “develop a bird flu pathogen capable of infecting humans,” as Alexis Baden-Mayer showed in an article published last year. Some of this gain-of-function research has taken place  in U.S. Department of Defense-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
