周二，特朗普政府的官员、共和党活动人士、科技与保险行业的巨头、健康产业创业者以及一些知名度逐渐下降的名人齐聚华盛顿特区的华尔道夫酒店，参加了第二届“让美国再次健康”（Make America Healthy Again）峰会。不过，与首届峰会不同的是：这次活动不再有那些为该运动命名的基层健康自由活动人士及反疫苗人士的参与。
Trump administration officials, Republican operatives, titans of the tech and insurance industries, wellness entrepreneurs, fading celebrities and a few women descended on the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC on Tuesday for the second annual Make America Healthy Again Summit — this time without the grassroots coalition of health freedom activists and anti-vaccine parents that gave the movement its name.
此次峰会的讨论内容通过直播进行了传播，涉及多个议题，包括迷幻药物的使用（卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪对此表现出浓厚兴趣）、癌症治疗方法（峰会的主要赞助商是一家正在研发实验性癌症检测技术的公司，其产品尚未获得美国食品药品监督管理局的批准）、医疗服务的可负担性问题（讨论由保险行业高管主持），以及政府监管政策。
Panels at the event which was viewable on a livestream, included conversations with industry leaders on psychedelics (about which Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is enthusiastic ), cancer treatments (with the summit’s top sponsor, an experimental cancer test maker whose product is awaiting approval by the Food and Drug Administration), affordability (featuring insurance executives) and government regulation.
多位内阁成员和政府官员以主持人或演讲者的身份出席了会议，其中包括农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯、环境保护局局长李·泽尔丁，以及医疗保险与医疗补助服务中心的负责人梅赫梅特·奥兹博士。奥兹博士将参加一个由喜剧演员拉塞尔·布兰德主持的讨论小组；布兰德本人已被指控多项强奸和性侵犯罪名，但尚未认罪，下个月他将在伦敦接受审判。
Cabinet members and officials attended as moderators and presenters, including Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator, who was set to appear on a panel moderated by Russell Brand, the comedian who has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges of rape and sexual assault for which he will stand trial in London next month.
副总统杰森·万斯和小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪计划以“炉边谈话”的形式为峰会画上句号。MS NOW等主流媒体并未获得此次峰会的采访资格。
Vice President JD Vance and Kennedy were slated to close the summit with a fireside chat. MS NOW, along with other mainstream media, was not granted press credentials to cover the event.
多年来，肯尼迪一直指责联邦卫生机构被它们本应监管的企业所控制；如今，他的部分支持者也开始对他提出同样的质疑。
For years, Kennedy has accused federal health agencies of being captured by corporations they are tasked with regulating.
罗伯特·马龙博士是一位新冠阴谋论者，他曾担任肯尼迪重新组建的疫苗咨询委员会的成员。他称这次峰会是“一种背叛”：“‘让美国再次健康’运动最初正是通过谴责金钱、权力、行业影响力与政府权力的勾结而声名鹊起的……那么，如今这个组织到底是为谁服务的呢？”他在Substack网站上写道。
That same charge is now being aimed at the health secretary by his disillusioned supporters. Dr. Robert Malone, a Covid-19 conspiracy theorist who sat on Kennedy’s remade vaccine advisory panel, called the MAHA Summit “a betrayal.”“MAHA rose to prominence by condemning precisely this convergence of money, access, industry influence, and government power … Who exactly is MAHA for now?” he wrote on Substack.
该活动的赞助商名单中包括了沃尔玛（Walmart）、人工智能公司 OpenAI 和 Anthropic，以及医疗企业 Grail 和 Resmed 等数十家企业。许多演讲者和赞助商都与联邦政府有着密切的商业联系。
Dozens of corporate sponsors were listed in the event’s program including Walmart, artificial intelligence companies OpenAI and Anthropic, and medical businesses Grail and Resmed. Many of the speakers and sponsors have active business before the federal government.
据彭博社报道，该峰会的主办方 MAHA 中心曾宣传其赞助服务的价格高达 30 万美元，这些赞助不仅包括演讲机会，还赋予赞助商对会议讨论的发言权，以及与肯尼迪（Kennedy）和奥兹（Oz）共进晚餐的特权。
Bloomberg reported that MAHA Center, the nonprofit organizing the summit, advertised sponsorships running up to $300,000 that came with a speaking slot, influence over the conversation and a private dinner with Kennedy and Oz.
在活动筹备期间，肯尼迪的长期支持者抱怨称：MAHA 这个最初以支持健康议题（尤其是反疫苗立场）为宗旨的非营利组织，实际上已被政治势力所操控；而这些政治势力正是他们曾经试图对抗的对象。
In the weeks leading up to the event, longtime Kennedy allies complained that MAHA, a self-described movement built on the backs of health-focused (and often anti-vaccine) activists to support Kennedy’s failed presidential bid, had been co-opted by political operatives and the very industries they had organized to fight.
“MAHA 峰会的演讲者阵容完全背离了该组织最初成立的宗旨——那些促使选民（尤其是女性选民）投票支持该组织的核心诉求，”反农药活动家凯莉·瑞尔森（Kelly Ryerson，网名 GlyphosateGirl）对《华盛顿 examiner》杂志表示，“我已认不出这个所谓的‘MAHA’组织了。”
“The MAHA Summit lineup does not reflect the issues that birthed the original MAHA movement and drove voters, especially women, to show up and vote for this coalition,” Kelly Ryerson, an anti-pesticide activist who goes by GlyphosateGirl, told the Washington Examiner“I don’t recognize this version of MAHA.”
“我们曾帮助特朗普赢得总统大选，也让肯尼迪成为了美国卫生与公众服务部部长，”主张禁止新冠疫苗的医生玛丽·塔利·鲍登（Mary Talley Bowden）在社交媒体上写道，“他们为什么要排除我们的声音呢？”
“We enabled Trump to win the presidency and Kennedy to become HHS secretary,” Mary Talley Bowden, a physician who advocates banning Covid vaccines, posted to“Why are they excluding our voices?”
随着中期选举的临近，MAHA 这一组织逐渐得到了特朗普政府的支持；但该组织的创始人及其批评者们的观点却越来越趋同。
MAHA has been embraced by the Trump administration heading into the midterms. But the movement’s originalists and its critics have started to sound alike.
路易斯安那州参议员比尔·卡西迪（Bill Cassidy）本月对《Politico》杂志表示，他对 MAHA “毫无敬意”；这位曾在共和党初选中投票支持肯尼迪当选的医生，后来在党内选举中落选。
Sen. Bill Cassidy, the Louisiana doctor who cast the deciding vote to confirm Kennedy and was ousted in his Republican primary, told Politico this month he had “very little respect” for MAHA.
“一个最初旨在推动社会进步的运动，最终往往会沦为牟利的工具，”卡西迪说道。
“What starts as a movement ends as a racket,” Cassidy said.
如果MAHA内部那些观点各异、经常相互竞争的活动人士们的利益使得该组织难以被清晰地定义的话，那么MAHA背后的运作机制就更加令人费解了。这次峰会是由MAHA Center主办的，该组织是一家非营利机构，由托尼·莱昂斯（Tony Lyons）负责管理。莱昂斯不仅是肯尼迪（Kennedy）相关书籍的出版商，还致力于出版一些具有争议性的作品。
If the divergent, often competing pet interests of the activists within MAHA made the movement hard to define, the structure behind the business of MAHA is murkier still. The summit was presented by MAHA Center a nonprofit helmed by Tony Lyons, publisher of Kennedy’s books and other contrarian works. Lyons also runs MAHA Action a separate nonprofit, and MAHA PAC the rebranded super PAC that bankrolled Kennedy’s presidential bid and is now backing Republican candidates in the midterms.
他还同时运营着另一家非营利机构MAHA Action，以及MAHA PAC——这个经过重新命名的超级政治行动委员会（super PAC）曾为肯尼迪的总统竞选提供资金支持，如今则正在为中期选举中的共和党候选人提供赞助。峰会门票仅向那些每年缴纳6000美元会费的“MAHA会员”开放；这种会员资格是由莱昂斯领导的MAHA Action机构推广的，但实际上是与MAHA Holdings这家独立实体签订的协议。
Tickets to the summit went to “MAHA members” who enrolled at the $6,000-a-year tier —a membership advertised and presented by Lyons’ MAHA Action but whose agreement is with MAHA Holdings, a separate entity with no public-facing website, about which little is known beyond its CEO, former tech entrepreneur Alex Hardy, and one board member: Kennedy’s 29-year-old son, Finn.
关于MAHA Holdings，外界知之甚少——除了其首席执行官亚历克斯·哈迪（Alex Hardy）和一位董事会成员之外，几乎没有任何公开信息。这位董事会成员就是肯尼迪29岁的儿子芬恩（Finn）。芬恩（Finn）是峰会的第一位演讲者。
Finn was the summit’s first speaker.
