Wondering why CVS is limiting Covid shot appointments in some states but not others? ICYMI last week I dove into why there’s a pharmacist patchwork for vaccination — and what pharmacy groups are asking states to do to address it. politico.com/news/2025/08/2…
The draft MAHA report we got is good news for food & farm groups. “It's an administration at war with itself, because there are way too many industry influences on certain things, and the way they're getting their way is to try to keep sniping at Bobby." politico.com/news/2025/08/1…
Conservatives activists pressured Costco to not dispense abortion pills. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… It's a strategy years in the making, that @Gardner_LM and I reported on in 2023. politico.com/news/2023/01/1…
The next MAHA report, which is expected to outline the Trump administration's strategy to reduce chronic childhood disease, won't be released publicly tomorrow. w/ @davidalim @meganmesserly @politico
Some MAHA supporters are pissed that Congress is moving forward with what they see as a liability shield for pesticide makers. Now they're threatening political consequences for Kennedy and Republicans in the midterms. From me & @Gardner_LM
New story from me and @Gardner_LM politico.com/news/2025/08/0…
RFK Jr.’s health agenda has pitted MAHA advocates and moms against some industry groups that have long been loyal to Trump. Great look from @Marcia_Brown9 and @Gardner_LM on the battle over pesticides, vaccines & an upcoming MAHA report: politico.com/news/2025/08/0…
Scoop: More changes for CDC vaccine panel as new leadership boots certain health liaison orgs from working group meetings. W/@sophie_gardnerJ subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025/0…
President Donald Trump overruled HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, ordering the removal of top FDA vaccine regulator Vinay Prasad. w/ @Gardner_LM: politico.com/news/2025/07/3…
Trump drove top FDA vax official’s firing over RFK Jr.’s wishes as Vinay Prasad faced growing criticism from the right. Now the admin might split vax oversight into a separate FDA body, which could give Kennedy an avenue to placate skeptics. W/@davidalim politi.co/4oj8dik

Doctors’ groups sue Kennedy over Covid shot changes for kids, pregnant people politi.co/45Xsbs1 via @politico
In the wake of the latest Supreme Court Obamacare decision, public health lawyers and experts cautioned that legal challenges to health policy may now shift toward assessing the scientific rationale behind those decisions. politico.com/live-updates/2…
I’ve been in Atlanta covering the first ACIP meeting since Kennedy fired and replaced the panel’s members. It’s been an eventful two days. Here’s a recap, with @Gardner_LM politico.com/news/2025/06/2…
#SCOTUS eases states' path to ban Planned Parenthood, or any medical provider, from Medicaid. 6-3 ruling says patients can't sue under fed law when their provider is shunned. Congress could soon ban PP from Medicaid nationally w/@AliceOllstein @Gardner_LM politico.com/news/2025/06/2…
