Have you or someone you love been confused by the push to 'Make
America Healthy Again'?

Then you, my friend, are in dire need of our new series: The Road
to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA). For the next few weeks, we're
delving into some of the origins, conspiracy theories, and power
grabs that have led us to this moment, and what it could mean for
our health.

After visiting the families of measles victims in Texas, Secretary
of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated on X,
"The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR
vaccine." But his history promoting the anti-vaccination cause
alongside questionable alternative medicines has public health
officials, parents, and even the MAHA constituency on edge.

For the second episode in our Road to MAHA series, NPR's senior
science and health editor Maria Godoy and NBC News senior reporter,
Brandy Zadrozny, walk us through how anti-vaccine rhetoric has led
to this moment in public health.
