Trump’s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ commission to target autism, chronic diseases

by February 14, 2025
February 14, 2025

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Thursday establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which will be led by newly confirmed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Fox News Digital exclusively learned. 

The commission will be chaired by Kennedy and will be ‘tasked with investigating and addressing the root causes of America’s escalating health crisis, with an initial focus on childhood chronic diseases,’ the White House explained to Fox News Digital.

Kennedy was confirmed as the nation’s leader of the U.S. Health and Human Services on Thursday and was expected to be sworn in later in the afternoon. His commission will work to ‘restore trust in medical and scientific institutions and hold public hearings, meetings, roundtables’ to receive input from health leaders. 

The commission, Fox Digital learned, will focus on four policy directives to reverse chronic disease, including providing Americans transparency on health data to ‘avoid conflicts of interest in all federally funded health research;’ prioritizing ‘gold-standard research on why Americans are getting sick’ in all federally-funded health research; working with farmers to ensure food is healthy, as well as affordable; and expanding health coverage and treatment options ‘for beneficial lifestyle changes and disease prevention.’

The commission initially will focus on childhood chronic diseases, such as autism and fatty liver disease, and also investigate adult chronic diseases, such as asthma and the U.S. average life expectancy compared to other nations. 

Within 100 days of the commission’s founding, it is expected to publish ‘an assessment that summarizes what is known and what questions remain regarding the childhood chronic disease crisis, and include international comparisons.’ Within 180 days, it is expected to ‘produce a strategy, based on the findings of the assessment, to improve the health of America’s children,’ Fox Digital learned. 

Kennedy and Trump vowed on the campaign trail to ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ including directing their focus on autism among youths in recent years. The commission will investigate chronic conditions for both adults and children, including those related to autism, which the White House said affects one in 36 children.

Trump, in recent months, has cited autism stats while previewing his second administration, balking at the number of children currently diagnosed compared to just 25 years ago. 

‘When you look at, like, autism from 25 years ago, and you look at it now, something’s going on,’ Trump said in December 2024 ahead of his inauguration. ‘Think of this: 25 years ago, autism, 1 in 10,000 children. Today it’s 1 in 36 children. Is something wrong? I think so, and Robert and I, we’re going to figure it out.’ 

Trump also vowed while on the campaign trail in June that he would ‘establish a special Presidential Commission of independent minds who are not bought and paid for by Big Pharma, and I will charge them with investigating what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic illnesses.’ 

The Republican-controlled Senate voted 52–48 on Thursday to confirm Kennedy. His confirmation hearings before the Senate in late January included a few outbursts from protesters, as well as Democrats grilling him over his vaccine stances. 

Kennedy, who ran for president as a Democrat in the 2024 cycle before ultimately dropping out and endorsing Trump, clarified to the Senate that he is not ‘anti-vaccine.’ 

‘I worked for years to raise awareness about the mercury and toxic chemicals in fish. And nobody called me anti-fish. And I believe that … that vaccines play a critical role in healthcare. All of my kids are vaccinated. I’ve read many books on vaccines. My first book in 2014, a first line of it is ‘I am not anti-vaccine’ and last line is ‘I am not anti-vaccine.’ Nor am I the enemy of food producers. American farms are the bedrock of our culture, of our politics, of our national security,’ he said during his hearing before the Senate Finance Committee in January.
