- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. backed farmer-turned Republican candidate Zach Lahn in the Iowa governor race at a Wednesday night rally in Clive, calling Lahn’s Big Agriculture-focused platform a “spiritual battle.”
- Make America Healthy Again activists and Republican candidates at the rally decried Big Agriculture, stressed the rise of chronic disease in America and called for the Covid-19 vaccine to be removed from the market.
- Joseph Ladapo, the Florida surgeon general, made inaccurate claims about the hepatitis B vaccine during the rally.
- Zen Honeycutt, founder of Moms Across America, called for ending liability shields for pesticide and pharmaceutical companies.
- Michael Boes, chief MAHA officer at Steak ’n Shake, called the MAHA movement a “catalyst for a monumental shift.”
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called for growing food without poisoning children, causing cancer or destroying soils and the microbiome connecting the brain and other organs.
Why it matters: Kennedy’s appearance gave Iowa gubernatorial candidate Zach Lahn the explicit backing of the health secretary; three other speakers—Joseph Ladapo, Michael Boes and Zen Honeycutt—put vaccine removal, a MAHA transformation and ending liability shields on the same stage as Lahn’s farm-policy pitch.
