For decades, Oprah paved the way for MAHA, promoting quackery and making Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz celebrities. Now, she’s trying (unsuccessfully) to distance herself from them.

Del Bigtree and and the MAHA Institute embrace being proudly antivax. I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.
Dr. Oz recently advocated “cooperation” with food companies to “make America healthy again.” His call for “cooperation” was really a threat, and his message to poor Americans has been that you don’t deserve healthcare unless you prove yourself “worthy.”
Last month I referred to the “soft eugenics” of RFK Jr. and MAHA. More recently, he and Dr. Oz provided new examples, one about autism, the other about public health.
I’ve long said that the antivax movement is borderline eugenicist (or at least social Darwinist) in nature. Given the ongoing measles outbreak, with two children dead so far, it’s time for me to take a look at the “soft eugenics” of the antivax movement and, more generally, the MAHA movement.
