Make America Healthy Again? Social Media Misinformation Fuels Vaccine Hesitancy Among New Mothers

The "Make America Healthy Again" movement, spearheaded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is significantly influencing new parents' health decisions, particularly regarding vaccinations. A New York Times report reveals how social media platforms are amplifying misinformation, leading some mothers to question established medical advice. "Vaccine stuff has popped up," says one Oregon mother interviewed in the video, highlighting the pervasive nature of this online influence. The reporter, Emma Goldberg, emphasizes the concerning trend of parents relying on social media for medical guidance, often encountering conflicting and potentially harmful information. The video underscores the need for critical thinking and reliable sources when making health decisions for children. The rise of MAHA and its impact on parental choices is a significant societal trend worthy of further investigation.
