I would like to be surprised, but the only thing that shocks me is that what I wrote in #theimmortalists has already come true (out now in the UK & US in March)
There's an exclusive, closed-to-media MAHA summit tomorrow. Here's the full agenda I was leaked
In attendance will be JD Vance, RFK Jr, Bhattacharya, Makary, actor Russell Brand (who is facing rape and sexual assault charges), and dozens of other MAHA influencers and people in Trump's orbit
