一旦中期选举“蓝色海啸”规模对共和党变得清晰，与小罗伯特·肯尼迪的“让美国再次健康”运动结盟的活动家和企业家找到了新的焦点：保住老板。
Once the size of the midterm blue tsunami became clear to the GOP, activists and entrepreneurs aligned with Robert F. Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again movement found a new focus: Save the boss.
在共和党人——包括爱荷华州的扎克·拉恩和得克萨斯州的肯·帕克斯顿——败给曾誓言弹劾肯尼迪的民主党人后，“让美国再次健康”运动的影响力人物和内部人士从与民主党交战转向呼吁团结。
After Republicans — including Zach Lahn in Iowa and Ken Paxton in Texas — lost to Democrats who had vowed to impeach Kennedy, MAHA influencers and insiders pivoted from warring with Democrats to appealing for unity.
“这就是你无法赢得联盟或共同合作的方式，”补品企业家、以“食品辣妹”闻名的博主瓦尼·哈里在民主党参议员安吉拉·奥尔索布鲁克斯呼吁肯尼迪辞职后发帖称。因发布误导性报告指控从疫苗到女童军饼干等一切事物都含有毒素而知名的反疫苗活动家岑·哈尼卡特称，任何弹劾肯尼迪的努力都是“一个巨大的错误”。“让美国再次健康”政治行动委员会主席托尼·莱昂斯，其组织仅支持共和党人，周五表示：“我将与分享‘让美国再次健康’愿景、并愿与肯尼迪部长合作而非试图赶走他的民主党人共事。”
“This is not how you win a coalition or work together,” posted Vani Hari, the supplement entrepreneur and blogger known as the Food Babe, after Democratic Sen. Angela Alsobrooks called for Kennedy to resign. Zen Honeycutt, an anti-vaccine activist known for publishing misleading reports alleging that there are toxins in everything from vaccines to Girl Scout cookies, called any effort to impeach Kennedy “a colossal mistake.”And MAHA PAC President Tony Lyons, whose organization supported only Republicans, offered Friday: “I’ll work with Democrats who share the MAHA vision — and who will work with Secretary Kennedy instead of trying to get rid of him.”
这场重振运动、支撑陷入困境的卫生与公众服务部部长的努力核心人物是卡利·米恩斯，他是肯尼迪的前顾问，正对前白宫幕僚长苏西·怀尔斯及其他白宫官员提出一系列指控，声称他们的企业关系才是始终扼杀“让美国再次健康”议程的原因。
At the center of the effort to re-energize the movement and bolster the embattled secretary of health and human services is Calley Means, a former Kennedy adviser who is now leveling a series of allegations against former White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and other White House officials, claiming that their corporate ties were what stifled the MAHA agenda all along.
从游说人士转型为健康创业者的米恩斯，曾促成肯尼迪与特朗普的联盟，他在政府内部专注于食品政策。MAHA（让美国再次健康）支持者视为胜利的几项举措，均出自他手：达成限制人工食用色素的协议、禁止用联邦食品援助购买垃圾食品、推出轮换版食物金字塔，以及联邦层面对迷幻剂的支持。但MAHA活动人士对无法在其最核心的主张上实现实质性改革同样感到沮丧，例如限制农药使用、识别并清除食品中的化学物质。
Means, a lobbyist turned wellness entrepreneur who brokered the Kennedy-Trump alliance, focused on food policy inside the administration. He was behind several of the MAHA efforts that adherents point to as wins: agreements to limit artificial food dyes, a ban on junk food purchases with federal food assistance, a rotated food pyramid and federal backing for psychedelics. But MAHA activists were just as frustrated with the inability to enact real reform over their most passionately held positions, like restricting pesticides and identifying and eliminating chemicals in food.
米恩斯在接受乔·罗根和哥伦比亚广播公司新闻节目采访时，将缺乏进展的责任归咎于怀尔斯。米恩斯和怀尔斯均未立即回应置评请求。
In interviews with Joe Rogan and CBS News, Means placed the blame for the lack of progress on Wiles. Means and Wiles did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
米恩斯告诉采访者，特朗普并未抛弃MAHA。为此，他铺陈了一个庞大的叙事：特朗普、肯尼迪及MAHA议程已被受特殊利益集团控制的人所颠覆，其中包括怀尔斯以及特朗普政府的其他几名成员、共和党中期选举团队的相关人员，这些人此后已辞职。米恩斯描述了一种“反MAHA深层政府”，称其阻挠了他让食品更安全的努力，并批准了调味电子烟——分别作为回报糖业和烟草业在中期选举中捐款的恩惠。
Trump did not abandon MAHA, Means told the interviewers. To explain, he laid out a sprawling narrative in which Trump, Kennedy and the MAHA agenda had been subverted by people beholden to special interests, including Wiles and several other members of the Trump administration and the GOP’s midterm election efforts who have since resigned. Means described a kind of anti-MAHA deep state that blocked his efforts to make food safer and approved flavored vapes — favors to the sugar and tobacco industries, respectively, in exchange for industry donations in the midterms.
怀尔斯辞职后，米恩斯欢庆斯蒂芬·米勒从副幕僚长晋升为幕僚长。米勒因设计大规模驱逐策略而闻名，该策略导致移民和公民均遭遇域外拘留、受伤甚至死亡，其打击力度之大甚至让特朗普称其“太过强硬”。据米恩斯称，米勒如今有望最终为MAHA兑现承诺。
After Wiles resigned, Means celebrated the promotion of Stephen Miller from deputy chief of staff to the top job. Best known as the architect of a mass deportation strategy that has led to extrajudicial detentions, injuries and deaths among immigrants and citizens alike — and a crackdown so harsh that even Trump called it “too tough” — Miller is now poised, according to Means, to finally deliver for MAHA. In the immediate term, Means’ whistleblowing appears to have energized a MAHA movement that had been deflated by infighting and a disappointing midterms showing.
就眼下而言，米恩斯的“吹哨”似乎振奋了MAHA运动，该运动此前因内讧和中期选举表现不佳而士气低落。
“Next to me, Stephen Miller is the strongest MAHA supporter in the administration. It’s time to unleash the Kraken,” Kennedy posted to X on Friday.
“除了我之外，斯蒂芬·米勒是政府内部最强有力的‘让美国再次健康’（MAHA）支持者。是时候释放克拉肯了，”肯尼迪周五在X平台发帖称。
Children’s Health Defense, the nonprofit Kennedy chaired until he stepped down to lead HHS, has urged impatient MAHA followers to give the secretary more time to enact their anti-vaccine agenda.
肯尼迪卸任卫生与公众服务部（HHS）部长前担任主席的非营利组织“儿童健康防卫”，曾敦促急躁的“让美国再次健康”追随者给部长更多时间来推行他们的反疫苗议程。该组织回复肯尼迪：“冲啊！！！”但并非所有人都如此兴奋。
It responded to Kennedy: “Let’s goooo!!!”But not everyone is so psyched.
“[米恩斯] 说小肯尼迪最终会为‘让美国再次健康’兑现承诺，简直可笑，”格雷·德莱尼写道，他在去年因草率削减5亿美元信使核糖核酸（mRNA）疫苗研究经费而被解职，此前曾担任卫生与公众服务部“让美国再次健康”实施与外部事务主任。“他在试图安抚‘让美国再次健康’，让他们未来两年保持克制。别上当。”与德莱尼一样，许多肯尼迪最狂热的早期支持者，对于看起来像是放弃疫苗议题一事，至今仍怒不可遏。
“For [Means] to say that RFK will finally deliver for MAHA is laughable,” wrote Gray Delany, the former director of MAHA implementation and external affairs at HHS, before he was fired last year after a bungled slashing of $500 million in mRNA vaccine research. “He is trying to placate MAHA to keep them at bay the next two years. Don’t fall for it.”Like Delany, many of Kennedy’s most ardent early supporters are still fuming over what looks to them like the abandonment of the vaccine issue.
这些活动人士表示，肯尼迪曾不遗余力地敦促新手父母跳过所有疫苗，并将疫苗制造商和监管他们的官员比作纳粹，但面对不受欢迎的麻疹疫情，他在儿童疫苗问题上已改变立场，且未能禁止新冠及其他信使核糖核酸疫苗。这些支持者中一个阴谋论派别视米恩斯——一名前游说人士——为“让美国再次健康”内部的颠覆性人物。
These activists say Kennedy — who once spared no words urging new parents to skip all vaccines while likening their manufacturers and the officials who regulate them to Nazis — has reversed course on childhood vaccines in the face of unpopular measles outbreaks and failed to ban Covid-19 and other mRNA vaccines. A conspiratorial contingent of those supporters has viewed Means, a former lobbyist, as a subversive figure in MAHA.
“这个家伙正在对美国搞心理战，”极右翼播客主持人吉米·多尔在X平台谈到米恩斯时说，“他揭露白宫内部的一些腐败以赢得你的信任，现在却在推销这场胡扯的骗局。”神经外科医生转型为健康导师的杰克·克鲁斯博士，其自然疗愈理念曾获肯尼迪前竞选搭档妮科尔·沙纳汉推崇，他认为米恩斯和肯尼迪都是中央情报局（CIA）安插的人员，他们的真实目标是保护大型制药公司。
“This guy is running a PsyOp on America right now,” far right podcaster Jimmy Dore said of Means on X, “where he exposes some of the corruption inside White House to gain your trust & now is pushing this B.S. con job.”Dr. Jack Kruse, a neurosurgeon turned wellness guru whose ideas about natural healing were championed by former Kennedy running mate Nicole Shanahan, argues that Means and Kennedy are CIA assets whose real goal is protecting Big Pharma.
德克萨斯州医生玛丽·塔利·鲍登（Mary Talley Bowden）声称新冠疫苗致命，尽管有证据表明疫苗已挽救了数百万生命，她称米恩斯是“彻头彻尾的骗子”。米恩斯的整个叙事依赖于让受众相信特朗普和肯尼迪是受害者——无力抵御怀尔斯贪图钱财的政治算计。
And Mary Talley Bowden, a Texas doctor who claims that Covid vaccines are deadly despite evidence they have saved millions of lives, is calling Means “a total fraud.”Means’ whole story depended on its audience believing that Trump and Kennedy were victims — helpless to Wiles’ money-hungry political machinations.
“威廉斯和肯尼迪对卡利·米恩斯彻底阉割他们作何感想？”塔利·鲍登写道。
“I wonder how Trump and Kennedy feel about Calley Means completely emasculating them,” Talley Bowden wrote.
