For anyone still wondering if RFK Jr. and his hand picked staff that us slowly cleansing the government health agencies of the Big Pharma, Big Sickcare loyalists, RFK Jr. released The MAHA Report along with a press conference with President Trump. This outlines the problems RFK Jr. and the NIH and related entities intend to target during their term that have bene long plaguing our communities. 

One of the core focuses of the press conference was how industry has been dictating policy for too long now and its time to say no to industry and yes to the American people's health. It does this through the section entitled "Corporate Capture and the Revolving Door." None of this is a surprise to anyone who has worked in or is very familiar with the healthcare industry and its tentacles but it is important that the government said it outloud and acknowledged it as people who benefit from this system still have the nerve to gaslight people that it isn't a problem. 

Some key finding from the report include:

• The Food Industry spent $60 billion for drug, biotechnology, and device research in nutrition science compared to the $1.5 billion in government funded research.

• More than40% of US children have a chronic health condition - including asthma, allergies, obesity, autoimmune diseases, or behavioral disorders. This is a dramatic rise compared to the past.

• More than 75% of young Americans are ineligible for military service.

• Teen suicide and depression have surged, with suicide among 10-24-year-old girls up 67% since 2007.

• 95% of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee members had financial ties to food and pharmaceutical companies

• The chemical manufacturing industry spent roughly $77 million on federal lobbying activities in 2024, while 60% of their lobbyists previously held federal posts. 

• Over 10,000 chemicals listed on the EPA's inventory are designated as confidential, and generic chemical names are used to identify them.

• The pharmaceutical industry, from 1999 to 2018, spent $4.7 billion on lobbying expenditures at the federal level, more than any other industry.

• Nine out of the last 10 FDA commissioners—and approximately 70% of the agency's medical reviewers—have gone on to work for the pharmaceutical industry. 

• More than 80% of clinical departments and teaching hospitals at U.S. medical schools receive some degree of pharmaceutical funding, while half of the total costs for continuing medical education (CME) is funded by industry.

• Between 2010 and 2022, the industry provided $6 billion to over 20,000 patient advocacy organizations.

The report calls out the need for addressing our food supply issues and letting ranchers and famers be a part of this discussion as well.

There is a forthcoming report, expected in August, that will detail the solutions to these problems. 

NoJabDocs celebrates the positive momentum the public sector is making to address these issues and we hope to be an instrumental part in building the future in the private sector by enabling independent healthcare providers to operate ethically on their own, separate from the constraints imposed on them by Big Pharma and corrupt private sector interests, to provide the best possible healthcare solutions to their clients.
