- Calley Means, a key MAHA leader who worked in the White House and at the highest levels of federal health agencies until last month, said corporate interests and money had derailed the administration's MAHA agenda.
- Calley Means told Joe Rogan in a recording released Friday that top White House officials were altering policies in response to industry influence and funding.
- MAHA advocates argued that glyphosate, a herbicide, causes grave health consequences.
- Glyphosate drew an “almost violent reaction” from industry groups, which pressured federal agencies against researching or restricting the substance.
- White House officials later presented Means with a policy to boost glyphosate production, saying the proposal was “not up for discussion.”
Why it matters: Means worked in the White House and at the highest levels of federal health agencies until last month, so the glyphosate sequence comes from a recently departed insider. The material outcome is specific: industry groups pressed agencies against research or restrictions, while one White House policy called for boosting glyphosate production.
