Overview

• In a Sunday segment, Oliver profiles advisers Calley and Casey Means and other boosters, citing raw‑liver “smoothies” and a White House raw‑milk video as emblematic of MAHA’s influencer‑driven pseudoscience.
• He spotlights reported HHS actions under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including scaling back mRNA vaccine research and, in June, removing all ACIP members before naming mostly non‑vaccine experts.
• The show argues touted wins like moves against synthetic food dyes are cosmetic as the administration cut roughly $1 billion for school and local food purchasing and tightened SNAP eligibility, reducing access to free school meals.
• Oliver casts the project as a branding exercise and points to a July congressional pitch for wearables as product shilling that distracts from evidence‑based policy.
• A JAMA‑linked analysis he cites finds U.S. children 15%–20% more likely to have a chronic condition in 2023 than in 2011, with experts urging systemic fixes rather than MAHA’s individualized remedies.
