ICYMI: Washington Examiner: “Democrat doctors run anti-MAHA campaigns for midterm elections”
“Democrats with backgrounds in STEM are uniquely qualified to really lead on a lot of the most important issues of the day, like health care,” 314 Action Executive Director Eric Polyak said. “They just have so much credibility.”
RECAP: 314 Action, Protect Our Care, Democratic Doctors’ Caucus Members, and Autism Advocates Slam RFK Jr.’s Public Health Failures
Erik Polyak, Executive Director, 314 Action:
“This isn’t hypothetical. We’re already living with the consequences of RFK Jr.’s leadership. On his watch, we’ve seen the worst measles outbreak in 25 years. Children are getting sick from diseases we’ve effectively eliminated because he spent years undermining confidence in childhood vaccines and now leads HHS medical research has stalled. Clinical trials into cancer and Alzheimer’s have been halted. Life saving work has stopped, and when he gets in front of Congress today, he’s going to lie about all of it.”
NEW POLL: RFK Jr. Drags Down GOP Candidates as MAHA Support Collapses
The poll conducted by Data for Progress for RFK Jr. Watch, a project of 314 Action, shows MAHA agenda is politically risky, creates opening for Democrats (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — A new national survey finds that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a political liability for the GOP, with voters turning against […]
RFK WATCH: ‘No One Wants to Listen To RFK Jr.’ as HHS Launches New Podcast

ICYMI: “Eliminate All Childhood Vaccine Recommendations” — MAHA Says the Quiet Part Out Loud
“RFK Jr.’s MAHA allies are saying the quiet part out loud: the MAHA endgame has always been to eliminate childhood vaccine recommendations,” said Grace Silva, 314 Action spokesperson. “Everything he’s done as HHS Secretary—gutting ACIP, reducing the number of recommended immunizations, and undermining confidence in vaccine safety—has set the stage for him to drive manufacturers out of the U.S and eradicate all vaccines. Even among Trump voters, RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine policies are deeply unpopular. 314 Action will continue to lead the charge against RFK Jr. to make sure there are consequences in the midterms.”
NEW POLL: Americans Trust Scientists and Doctors More Than RFK Jr. and Federal Health Agencies
“Americans don’t trust our public health agencies because of RFK Jr.,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “This poll reinforces that doctors, scientists, and health care professionals continue to hold the highest level of trust, as trust in federal health agencies decline under RFK Jr.’s leadership. From cherry-picking data, to citing fake studies and replacing career scientists with wellness influencers, RFK Jr. has shattered confidence in America’s world-renowned public health organizations. While it will take years to rebuild trust and confidence, the best thing Americans can do right now is elect pro-science candidates who will stand up to Trump and RFK Jr. This is our moment—the midterms are shaping up to be the health care election and 314 Action candidates are uniquely positioned to win.”
RFK Jr. Needs to Go on an Apology Tour for Trump’s Anti-MAHA Moves
“RFK Jr. needs to take his tour on the road and apologize to the MAHA moms who got measles outbreaks in exchange for lip service. RFK Jr.’s backflip on how glyphosate suddenly became good for us is completely bonkers and requires mental acrobatics of Olympic proportions. It’s just more of the same from this administration—blowing smoke about fighting corruption while rewarding their corporate backers at the expense of the public’s health and wellbeing.”
“Middle Finger to Every MAHA Mom” — RFK Jr. Bows to Trump & Big Ag
“If Donald Trump gave RFK Jr. a glass of Kool-Aid, he’d drink it. The President just undermined the MAHA movement, yet again. RFK Jr. has made his work against pesticides the backbone of the MAHA movement, but immediately abandoned the position when Trump sided with Big Ag.”

RFK Watch: It Started in Samoa—One Year Later, RFK Jr.’s Death Toll Grows
“One year later, RFK Jr.’s death toll grows,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “His vaccine disinformation campaign killed children in Samoa—and his anti-vaccine agenda has already killed at least three Americans and spurred the largest measles outbreak in 25 years.”
