LONDON — In a crowded chamber last fall, Robert Malone, a physician and prominent adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., spoke for more than 45 minutes about some of the health secretary’s favorite targets, including routine vaccines, ultra-processed foods and antidepressants. There was a standing ovation when he concluded with his signature nod to “Make America Healthy Again.”
This was not your typical MAHA gathering in Washington, DC. Malone was speaking at the European Parliament in Brussels and helping launch a new organization, Make Europe Healthy Again (MEHA). Following in the footsteps of its American cousin, the group says it aims to prevent chronic disease, protect the environment, promote scientific transparency and help Europeans “take back their health and sovereignty.”
“MEHA is an independent organization that provides solutions to pressing public health problems,” the organization’s founder Maria Hammer-Mogg said at an event in Brussels. MEHA will help Europeans lobby governments on regenerative agriculture, healthy school meals, children’s screen time and other health priorities, she said.
