特朗普政府官员在第二届“让美国再次健康”峰会上与保险公司、企业高管和健康影响者交流。他们讨论的议题涵盖医疗负担能力、美国食品供应和食物金字塔,以及人工智能在医疗保健中的应用。与许多其他主流媒体一样,《国会山报》未获发放新闻采访证,但通过免费直播观看了会议。以下是会议的主要观察:企业影响力高度可见活动汇聚了九家上市公司,包括保险业巨头、人工智能公司、沃尔玛和制药企业。

Trump administration officials mingled with insurers, corporate executives and wellness influencers at the second Make America Healthy Again Summit. They discussed issues ranging from affordability, the U.S. food supply and the food pyramid, and the use of AI in healthcare. Along with many other mainstream outlets, The Hill was not granted press credentials to attend but watched a free livestream. Here are takeaways from the event: Corporate influence was highly visible The event featured nine publicly traded companies including insurance industry giants, artificial intelligence firms, Walmart, and pharmaceutical companies.

据彭博社报道,一些公司付费获得了接触官员的机会。活动主要赞助商之一是Grail,该公司正等待FDA批准其癌症血液检测产品。沃尔玛高级副总裁Scott Morris在一个小组讨论中谈论了“真正的食物”,同组嘉宾包括快餐连锁Steak ’n Shake的首席MAHA官Michael Boes,以及专注沙拉的连锁餐厅Sweetgreen首席执行官Jonathan Neman。草根MAHA基础成员感觉运动正在出卖原则。

As Bloomberg reported, some companies were offered access to officials for a fee. One of the main sponsors of the event was Grail, a company awaiting FDA approval for a cancer blood test. Scott Morris, a senior vice president at Walmart, spoke about “real food” on a panel that included Michael Boes, chief MAHA officer at fast-food company Steak ’n Shake, and Jonathan Neman, the CEO of the salad-focused restaurant chain Sweetgreen. Members of the grassroots MAHA base feel the movement is selling out.

“联合健康、安泰健康、沃尔玛、GRAIL、ResMed、Compass Pathways、Definium Therapeutics、Hims & Hers、Noom、Advocate Health、Sutter Health、Anthropic和OpenAI,没有什么比这更能体现医疗自由了,”MAHA活动家、前疾病控制与预防中心疫苗顾问小组成员Robert Malone在社交媒体上写道。在随后的Substack帖子中,Malone指出,MAHA“本应揭露金钱、行业与政府之间的旋转门,而不是建立自己的旋转门”。在关键的中期选举前夕,MAHA运动可能正处于十字路口。

“Nothing screams medical freedom like UnitedHealth, Elevance Health, Walmart, GRAIL, ResMed, Compass Pathways, Definium Therapeutics, Hims & Hers, Noom, Advocate Health, Sutter Health, Anthropic and OpenAI,” Robert Malone, a MAHA activist and former member of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory panel, wrote on social media. In a subsequent Substack post, Malone noted that MAHA “was supposed to expose the revolving door between money, industry and government, not build its own.”The MAHA movement could be at a crossroads ahead of key midterm elections.

MAHA帮助特朗普总统获得了一位重要盟友——长期身为民主党人的小罗伯特·肯尼迪,他在背书特朗普并加入其政府前一直是民主党人。而肯尼迪为特朗普和共和党打开了接触新选民群体的大门。

MAHA helped give President Trump an important ally in Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime Democrat before he endorsed Trump and joined his administration. And Kennedy gave Trump and Republicans access to a new group of voters.

但基本盘对政府与其核心政策目标的关系日益不满,这些目标包括消除食品供应中的农药和化学物质、食用健康食品而非超加工食品,以及改变国家的疫苗接种政策。

But the base is increasingly at odds about the administration’s relationship to their core policy goals including eliminating pesticides and chemicals in food supplies, eating healthy instead of ultra-processed foods, and changing the nation’s vaccination policies.

迷幻剂受推崇 峰会的第一个小组讨论了迷幻药物医学,这是美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)最近开始收集见解的一个话题。

Psychedelics promoted The first panel of the summit dealt with psychedelic medicine, a topic the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently begun gathering insight into.

美国卫生与公众服务部(HHS)副总法律顾问马修·佐恩与三家开发用于心理健康护理的迷幻剂公司的首席执行官同台,其中包括正在探索裸盖菇素潜在用途的公司。参加讨论的这些公司目前均无任何经FDA批准的产品。

HHS Deputy General Counsel Matthew Zorn was joined by the CEOs of three separate companies developing psychedelics for use in mental health care, including those who are looking into the potential uses of psilocybin. None of the companies represented during the discussion currently have any FDA-approved products.

Compass Pathways首席执行官卡比尔·纳斯表示,研究裸盖菇素可能是解决难治性抑郁症的未来。

Kabir Nath, CEO of Compass Pathways, said investigating psilocybin could be the future of addressing treatment-resistant depression.

“美国有400万人患有所谓的难治性抑郁症,”纳斯说。“我们今天能为人们提供的与我们未来想要做到的之间存在巨大差距,正如我们将要讨论的,我们都相信迷幻剂有潜力为这些患者带来希望。”

“You have 4 million people in the U.S. who have what’s characterized as treatment-resistant depression,” said Nath. “There is a huge shortfall between what we are able to offer people today and what we want to be able to do in the future and as we’ll talk about, we all believe that psychedelics have the potential to offer hope for those patients.”

肯尼迪长期以来一直是常用抗抑郁药(特别是SSRIs)的批评者,他认为这些药物在美国被过度开方,并曾声称它们可能与暴力和大规模枪击事件有关。

Kennedy has long been a critic of commonly used antidepressants, particularly SSRIs, arguing they are overprescribed in the U.S. and has previously claimed they could be linked to violence and mass shootings.

9月初,FDA举行了一次听证会,征求公众对迷幻药物治疗用途的意见。

Earlier in September, the FDA held a hearing to gather public comments on therapeutic uses of psychedelic drugs.

拉塞尔·布兰德 当天一位颇为不协调的主持人是喜剧演员拉塞尔·布兰德,他主持了一个由CMS(医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心)行政长官梅赫梅特·奥兹和布里尔曼组成的小组。

Rusell Brand One of the more incongruous moderators on the day was comedian Russell Brand, who led a panel comprised of CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz and Brillman.

小组开始时,奥兹调侃道:“拉塞尔·布兰德刚才在后台拥抱农业部长,现在却坐在这儿。”

At the start of their panel, Oz quipped, “Russell Brand was backstage hugging the Secretary of Agriculture, but here he is.”

布兰德回应道:“我得澄清一下,是她主动接触的,医生,”引得奥兹大笑。

Brand responded, “She initiated that contact I shall make clear, doctor,” drawing a laugh from Oz.

布兰德周二的露面先于他下个月在伦敦即将举行的审判,他面临多项强奸和性侵犯指控。据《好莱坞报道者》3月报道,他对三项强奸罪、三项性侵犯指控和一项猥亵袭击指控均表示不认罪——这些指控均与六名女性关于1999年至2009年间发生的事件的指控有关。4月,他在接受梅根·凯利采访时承认,自己30岁时与一名16岁少女发生了他所谓的“剥削性”自愿性行为。

Brand’s appearance on Tuesday precedes his upcoming trial in London next month over multiple charges of rape and sexual assault. He has pleaded not guilty to three counts of rape, three charges of sexual assault and one allegation of indecent assault — all in connection with allegations made by six women about incidents that took place between 1999 and 2009, The Hollywood Reporter wrote in March. In April, he acknowledged engaging in what he called “exploitative” consensual sex with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30 during an interview with Megyn Kelly.

这位英国喜剧演员通过定期参加支持肯尼迪议程的非营利组织“MAHA行动”举办的活动和简报会,深深卷入了“让美国再次健康”(MAHA)运动。在9月由“MAHA行动”主办的一场讨论会上,布兰德表示:“我为与MAHA的关联感到非常自豪,并坚信它将变得越来越重要,因为定义了美国文化、或许更广泛文化的分

The British comedian has become enmeshed in the MAHA movement through regular appearances at events and briefings hosed by the MAHA Action nonprofit group that supports Kennedy’s agenda. In a discussion hosted by MAHA Action in September, Brand said, “I'm very proud of my affiliation with MAHA and strongly believe it wil become increasingly important as the divisiveness that's defined American culture and perhaps culture more broadly for certainly the last ... it's just getting worse, isn't it?”
