The Trump government has recently published a manifesto about what is wrong with health in America, but many of its actions clash with its answers.
Scientists and proponents of public health see deep disconnection between what the administration has said about health – in particular in “The Maha report”Which President Donald Trump Recently presented In the White House – and what it actually does.
For example, the report says that more research is needed into chronic diseases and the cumulative effects of chemicals in the environment. But the mass cancellation of federal research fairs of the Trump administration have derailed studies on those test subjects.
The report denounces the industry -funded research into chemicals and health as widespread and unreliable. But the administration tries to reduce government financing that could serve as a contrary weight.
“There are many inconsistencies between rhetoric and action,” said Alonzo Plough, Chief Science Officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a philanthropy focused on health.
The report, a cornerstone of the “Make America Healthy Again” agenda of President Donald Trump, was published by a committee consisting of health and human service secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And other senior officials.
It soon became famous for Foot Note of non -existent sources And Contains characters That it was produced with the help of artificial intelligence. Witte Huis Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the problems as ‘formatting issues’, and the administration revised the report.
Spokespersons of the White House and the Ministry of Health and Human Services did not respond to questions for this article.
For a glimpse of the larger whole, consider the case of the Poopy diapers.
The MaHA report says that environmental chemicals can pose risks for children’s health – that the nation “better need the cumulative burden on multiple exposures and how this can influence children’s health.”
The Environmental Protection Agency thought of the same lines in 2020 when it asked scientists to introduce Ways to examine the exposure of children to chemicals from soil and dust. It said that taking particles for young children – by placing their hands on the ground or floor than in their mouths – could be an important means of exposure to contaminants such as herbicides and pesticides.
A subsidy went to a team of scientists at Johns Hopkins University and the University of California-San Francisco. Researchers were given permission to collect samples from human houses, including dust and diapers.
But after a small test run, they could not analyze the urine and relief samples because the subsidy was terminated this spring, said study leader Keeve Nachman, a professor of environmental health and engineering to Johns Hopkins.
“The objectives of the prize are no longer consistent with EPA financing priorities,” said the agency in a notification of 10 May.
