Seamossgirlies – Details, episodes & analysis

In today’s episode, Kate discusses the dangers of the MAHA — Make America Healthy Again — Movement and RFK Jr.

Kate analyzes how this movement preys on paranoia and health anxiety, then pushes misinformation, conspiracy theories, and distrust of science and government to its supporters.

Kate explores who's supporting this movement — from moms to wellness influencers — and which talking points are resonating with Americans. This episode breaks down RFK Jr.'s dangerous push to defund critical health agencies, push pseudoscience, fire experts, and undermine the very systems that keep us safe against public health problems.

Kate finishes the episode by looking at how hyperbolic language and flashy talking points distract from real solutions like universal healthcare and equitable access to care, which are the keys to make America healthy.
