Former MAHA official Calley Means blames White House for yielding to industry pressure
Calley Means, a leader of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) group and former senior official in the Trump administration, announced his resignation and criticized the White House for being swayed by industry money.
In a recording released to podcaster Joe Rogan, Means said top officials were changing health policies to accommodate corporate interests rather than public health goals.
He highlighted the debate over glyphosate, noting that industry groups reacted strongly against research or restrictions and later presented a policy that would increase its production, which he described as non-negotiable.
