RFK Jr.’s ‘Healthy Again’ Initiative Receives Memo Pushing Chemtrail Conspiracy Theories
WASHINGTON – A memo obtained by KFF Health News reveals an effort to elevate chemtrail conspiracy theories within the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement spearheaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., raising questions about the direction of the initiative.
The July memo, penned by MAHA influencer Gray Delany and addressed to White House health advisor Calley Means, alleges that academic researchers and federal agencies are secretly releasing toxic substances from airplanes, causing harm to Americans and influencing weather patterns, including the Texas flooding last summer. The claims are unsubstantiated and have been widely debunked by scientists.
“It is unconscionable that anyone should be allowed to spray known neurotoxins and environmental toxins over our nation’s citizens, their land, food and water supplies,” delany wrote in the memo.
Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, dismissed the memo’s assertions as false and physically unachievable, telling KFF, “That is a pretty shocking memo. It doesn’t get more tinfoil hat.They really believe toxins are being sprayed.”
Delany’s memo proposes several actions for federal agencies,including the formation of a joint task force,a roundtable discussion,inclusion of the topic in the MAHA Commission report,and a public acknowledgement of alleged health and environmental harms.
It remains unclear whether Kennedy,Means,or federal agencies are considering these recommendations. A Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson, Emily Hilliard, stated the department does not comment on future or potential policy decisions and task forces.
The MAHA Commission released its report on September 9, along with a strategy document, but neither addresses the issues raised in Delany’s memo. The report, titled “make Our Children Healthy Again,” focuses on childhood disease strategy.
