In 2029, wearables have become a mandatory part of American life, including tracking fitness for the Presidential Fitness Test. Health policies have drastically changed, with leech therapy mandated before traditional medicine. Initiatives such as the Anti-Lemon, instead of vaccines, are promoted for perceived health benefits. These unconventional health guidelines reflect a peculiar shift in societal norms driven by the Secretary's controversial ideologies, steering public health toward unusual practices while suppressing negative sentiment about the administration's mandates.
"My vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within four years." - Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The Secretary put some special touches on it himself. My wearable says that I still have 5,000 more steps to go. If we don't pass our Presidential Fitness Test, we'll have to visit the Wellness Farm to pick turnips and be 'reparented.'
The leeches are the worst. Before taking what used to be called medicine, the Secretary insists that everyone 'try leeches.' The papers at the time described this new mandate as a Huge Triumph for Big Leech.
All the government funding that used to help with vaccines was rededicated to invent the Anti-Lemon, a fruit with all the same properties as a lemon except it can give you scurvy.
