A political advocacy group closely tied to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has enlisted one of the earliest promoters of the QAnon movement to help “Make America Healthy Again.”
Tracy “Beanz” Diaz is a podcaster, YouTuber and writer and was one of the first people to discuss QAnon on social media, posting her first video on the topic only six days after “Q” posted on 4chan for the first time in 2017. Now, Diaz says she will be serving as editor-in-chief for MAHA Action, the 501(c)(4) affiliated with Kennedy’s super PAC, MAHA Alliance.
MAHA Alliance was formed after Kennedy ended his own bid for the presidency and joined Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign. Its leadership includes former Kennedy campaign staffers, including campaign communications director Del Bigtree and Brigid Rasmussen, the chief of staff.
While the Super PAC’s mission statement was originally to inspire Kennedy followers to vote for Trump, MAHA Action is now recruiting to help “reverse the chronic disease epidemic and restore America’s position as a global leader in public health outcomes.” With its close ties to the Health and Human Services secretary, the organization says it is seeking to transform public health.
“MAHA Action is rapidly scaling in 2025 to drive national health policy changes at scale,” a job application for a MAHA Action internship states.
In a February episode of her podcast, Diaz explained that Bigtree, a close friend of Kennedy’s who now serves as the MAHA Alliance CEO, had personally asked her to work with the PAC.
“MAHA, as an organization, has a very big responsibility to make sure there is accurate, truthful, and well-presented information going out to the people about their health and how to be healthy again,” said Diaz.
While Kennedy attempted to walk back his former anti-vaccine stance before two Senate committees, MAHA Action has retained several associates with deep roots in conspiratorial beliefs. Chief Digital Officer Audra Gold has expressed skepticism about the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine. CEO Bigtree is the founder of the anti-vaccine group Informed Consent Action Network. That group’s chief operating officer, Catharine Layton, is concurrently serving as MAHA Action’s executive director, according to LinkedIn.
It’s not immediately clear what Diaz’s new role will entail, and Diaz said on her podcast that she said yes to Bigtree’s request before she knew exactly what her role would be. She did not respond to NOTUS’ requests for comment.
A website launched by MAHA Action appears to be linking to news articles from other publications about Kennedy.
Diaz is also a writer and editor-in-chief for the website UncoverDC, where one February post about vaccine injuries written by another author begins, “Whether someone was coerced into receiving the COVID-19 shots at threat of their job or whether they trusted ‘the science’ and believed that the shots were safe and effective, the result is that there are hundreds, if not thousands, out there injured, bedridden, suffering, and unable to work.”
While the COVID-19 vaccines can come with side effects, significant adverse effects are very rare, according to the CDC.
Diaz’s UncoverDC biography states that she worked on Rand Paul’s 2012 presidential campaign and the 2016 Trump campaign. Diaz has also contributed to Bigtree’s publication The Highwire, which has promoted unfounded claims about the risks of vaccines.
But her greatest contribution to the political sphere may have been suggesting that early followers of the QAnon movement move from obscure message boards to the more accessible Reddit, which she claims to have done in a 2018 blog post. That move helped QAnon break into the online mainstream and spread to other social media platforms like Facebook.
There, QAnon became a bona fide social phenomenon, amassing hundreds of thousands of followers who believe in a wide range of unproven theories about Trump waging a secret war against a “Deep State” cabal controlling the world. The QAnon movement was also a major promoter of vaccine hesitancy during the COVID-19 pandemic, of claims that the 2020 election was “stolen” from Trump, and had a presence at the January 6 insurrection. Politicians who have supported QAnon ideas have risen to power across the country, including U.S. congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and newly confirmed FBI director Kash Patel.
Diaz continued to promote QAnon on her social media after helping the movement gain its initial foothold. She racked up thousands of followers on X and hundreds of thousands of views on her Youtube videos, according to a 2018 NBC investigation (nearly all the videos on Diaz’s YouTube channel have been removed, and she was temporarily banned from X before being reinstated after Elon Musk bought the platform). During the pandemic, Diaz pushed vaccine skepticism and advocated for the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19. In 2021, she was even elected to a local Republican Party leadership role in South Carolina, though she quit in 2022 after disagreements with state GOP leaders.
So for Diaz, her new role with MAHA Action may be a coming home of sorts.
“The childhood vaccine schedule is something I have been railing against since 2006,” she said in a recent podcast episode.
