Beyond the antivaxx stuff MAHA is either banal or fake

The cultural messaging re cigarettes was going full blast already in the 70s. At some point smoking became uncool among higher social status people. While it would be idiotic to say health concerns weren’t a cause of that, it wasn’t so simple as getting the message out on, say, MTV instead of PBS Newshour.
Honestly being in shape and eating well long ago completely swept through higher status US culture. Like smoking, it lags in middle America and among the poor.

If the findings are the same as all of the other studies, is it really going to change anybody's mind?

Depends on who's lying to whom.

A simple 'no' would probably have been easier.

The bogus link between autism and MMR vaccines goes back decades. The lying and fraud started in the 90's, and it wasn't perpetrated by those who support vaccination.
I was only joking

4 years ago, I was told the science behind puberty blockers was settled. They were safe, reversible, and led to better health outcomes for kids with gender dysphoria. The vast studies supported allowing kids to socially transition and progress. If you don’t, then your daughter is likely going to suicide. It was science. Incontrovertible.

Yes, the 1790s. There were those who thought bloodletting was wrong.
All of our best scientists agreed that General George Washington was a candidate for bloodletting.
How did bloodletting contribute to Washington's death?
The massive blood loss, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and viscous blood flow likely contributed to Washington's condition.
The bloodletting resulted in severely low blood pressure and shock.
Some years later there were studies that showed the bloodletters might have been a little too enthusiastic.
Science can change. Don't be afraid to question.

What you're missing, presumably intentionally, is that the link was first conceived by a fraudulent study that faked it's data.
Investigation is fine and dandy, but the only link that's ever been made was due to a bogus paper.

But let's say the study again finds no link between vaccines and autism.
It wouldn't convince the hardcore conspiracy theorists, but it might persuade people who are on the fence that the previous science was legit, no? In that sense, it might be a good thing.
The two other potential outcomes are: The study finds a link, but the study was manipulated to find that link - well, that would be bad, I guess. The last outcome: The study finds a link and that link is real - I guess we would want to know that, even though it seems very unlikely based on what we know.
