When it comes to American children’s health—and so many other issues—the Biden administration left behind a squad of assassins aimed at destroying America’s future one disease at a time.
The minute his hand came off the Bible, President Donald Trump set out tackling the problem and promised to get to the root causes behind a growing epidemic of childhood illnesses and sicknesses that threaten our efforts to Make America Healthy Again.
Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. documented the problem expertly in his new report…and President Trump has set him free to let the healing of American adolescence begin.
In response, RFK, Jr. just released a new report that proves how badly politicians have let—or sometimes, forced—the problem to get.
Autism has risen by an incredible 40 percent since 1975, to the point that now one in every 31 children has been diagnosed as on the spectrum.
Also, more than 20 percent of all children born in America meet the definition for obesity. That’s an incredible 270 percent increase since the 1970s.
Experts have long verified that obesity is linked to chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis of the bones (osteoarthritis), and multiple forms of cancer. That’s not mentioning such non-chronic conditions as fatty liver and sleep apnea. But the Trump administration has been the first to mention that virtually all these conditions have exploded for American minors over the last five decades.
Pre-diabetes, the condition that usually develops into full-blown Type 2 diabetes, has more than doubled since the year 2000, ravaging one out of every four children.
The good news is, pre-diabetes is reversible…unlike cancer, but the number of childhood cancer patients has skyrocketed by 40 percent since 1975.
It appears everything Americans are eating may be trying to kill them, one way or another. In the 19 years between 1997 and 2018, the number of American children who said they had a food allergy nearly doubled—increasing by an incredible 88 percent.
What’s happening? Is it something in the food supply—additives, pesticides, preservatives, the use of genetically modified organisms (called “Frankenfoods”) encouraged by the patent holders of Big Pharma, or something completely different?
Whatever it is, the Trump administration vowed to dig to the bottom of it. From now on, President Trump’s full Cabinet is “working to make sure our kids and families are consuming the healthiest food we produce,” said U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.
These are just the physical problems.
“Teenage depression rates nearly doubled from 2009 to 2019, and with more than 1 in 4 teenage girls in 2022 reporting a major depressive episode in the past year,” said the HHS.
Of course, the reporting period for the year before 2022 included much of 2021—when the Biden administration forced healthy children to stay locked up at home and attend school “virtually” based on pure junk science.
President Trump highlighted the Democratic administration’s culpability in America’s mental health crisis over the weekend.
“Under the Biden Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) incorporated edits by a teachers’ union into its school reopening guidance, which discouraged in-person learning”—even though the “best available scientific evidence at the time showing that the COVID-19 risk for children was minimal,” the White House explained in as it detailed a new measure signed by President Trump last Friday on “Restoring Gold Standard Science” in America.
And the problems have continued ever since. “Three million high school students seriously considered suicide in 2023,” said the HHS.
As regrettable as these horrible health challenges are for America’s children, the rise of childhood disabilities and critical lack of fitness does not just impact kids. No less than 75% of Americans in the prime military ages of 17 and 24 don’t qualify to serve in the military—often due to the very health conditions the report is (finally) tracking, including obesity, chronic diseases, asthma, and serious allergies.
“We now have the most obese, depressed, disabled, medicated population in the history of the world, and we cannot keep going down the same road,” Food and Drug Commissioner Marty Makary said on a phone call with reporters last week.
“This era of indifference ended when I took office,” said President Donald Trump on Sunday as he declared May National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. “I was proud to appoint Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services to urgently confront and stop this crisis.”
“We are forging a future where the American people are healthier and stronger than ever before,” added President Trump.
The president has frequently warned the captains of industry that he planned to unleash RFK Jr., giving him near-absolute discretion and authority to investigate, correct, and punish any practice that is destroying the health of America’s youth.
Kennedy, who said he prayed for decades that God would put him in a position to save children’s health, said he’s more than ready to hit the ground running.
“We will end the childhood chronic disease crisis by attacking its root causes head-on—not just managing its symptoms,” Kennedy, the son of the slain 1968 presidential hopeful, promised concerned parents the day he released his report.
“We will follow the truth wherever it leads, uphold rigorous science, and drive bold policies that put the health, development, and future of every child first.”
The problem is set out, the team is searching for cures, and the entire Trump administration promises to let nothing get in the way of improving children’s health over the next four years.
The only question Americans need to ask is: Why didn’t this happen a lot sooner?
