Just hours after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the Make America Healthy Again commission.
The task force, chaired by Kennedy, will investigate the root causes of America’s chronic disease crisis, with a particular focus on childhood illnesses, medication overuse, and environmental toxins.
“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, and now, thanks to you, Mr President, we will make this promise a reality,” Kennedy said during his swearing-in ceremony.
The commission will study the effects of food additives, chemicals, electromagnetic radiation, medical treatments, and corporate influence on public health. It will also assess the impact of widely used pharmaceuticals, including SSRIs, antipsychotics, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs.
The task force will include top officials from the CDC, FDA, NIH, EPA, and several economic and policy advisers. Within 100 days, it is expected to release its first report on childhood chronic diseases. After completing its research, the commission will present a strategy to the president, though the executive order states it will not reconvene unless given a new directive.
