WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is urging public health agencies to prioritize investigations of vaccine injuries, prescription drug use and autism’s causes. The call is part of a new “Make America Healthy Again” report released Tuesday. Overseen by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the report aims to end childhood diseases in the U.S. by refocusing public health on his so-called “MAHA” movement’s priorities. The report suggests using personal medical records and health insurance data to investigate diseases and disorders, including autism. It also addresses issues like ultra-processed food consumption and water quality. And it calls for increased oversight of prescription drug ads, especially those by social media influencers.
