The draft of the second report from the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) commission, Make Our Children Healthy Again: Assessment, is as stupid as it is dangerous. One of the clearest example of propaganda. They say they want to make children healthy but are dismantling everything that keeps us safe. *Note: The report was published shortly after we recorded. The language of deregulation they used in the draft did not change much, and almost all of the episode still applies.-o-www.everythingispublichealth.comBluesky Social: @everythingisPHMastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com Photo Credit: Public Domain image from Wikimedia CommonsSupport the show

The Kids Online Safety Act has one giant problem. There are genuine concerns regarding kids and teens interacting with the internet, and we should approach this like any other public health problem. What we shouldn't do is have another moral panic and allow these massive platforms to control even more of our lives. -o-www.everythingispublichealth.comBluesky Social: @everythingisPHMastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com  Photo Credit: Photo by Ludovic Toinel on UnsplashSupport the show
