RFK Jr. Addresses Iowa Rally Calling for Covid Vaccine Removal and Highlighting MAHA Movement

Oct 29, 2026·read at STAT ↗Neutral

At a rally in Clive, Iowa, a group calling themselves Make America Healthy Again gathered with Republican candidates to criticize big agriculture and demand the removal of the Covid-19 vaccine from the market.

Speakers included Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, who repeated disputed statements about the hepatitis B vaccine, Michael Boes, chief MAHA officer at Steak ’n Shake, who described the MAHA movement as a catalyst for a major shift, and Zen Honeycutt, founder of Moms Across America, who urged ending liability shields for pesticide and pharmaceutical firms.

The event was organized to support Zach Lahn, a farmer who is running for Iowa governor, but much of the program highlighted the appearance of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vocal supporter of Lahn and the MAHA cause.

A video montage was shown before Kennedy took the stage, reinforcing the rally’s themes of fraud, vaccine skepticism, and broader health policy concerns.
