This is the whole crux of MAHA. Make health a completely personal choice by denying any external causes of disease and then when you completely cut any possible health assistance then that’s fine because health is a completely personal choice and responsibility and people should just try harder to he healthy
Didn’t forget the part where you get to blame people for their own illness! Being sick now becomes a moral failing because you didn’t do enough to stay healthy.
It’s “prosperity gospel” but for health instead of wealth. I’m healthy because I’m a good person and you’re not because you’re a bad person. It’s literally the same talking points too. Point at the minority of folks in a demographic who actually make genuinely bad decisions and apply that to the group as a whole.
