Track whether substantive Iran war policy decisions or accountability measures are being made while MAHA stories dominate news cycles—compare coverage volume to actual policy outputs.

The event is explicitly described as using health policy messaging to generate positive press while managing Iran war backlash, showing clear intentionality (12/15 on timing, emotional triggers, pattern matching, and rapid pivot). The media-volume mismatch and narrative pivot scores are maximal given the displacement of war accountability coverage with feel-good health stories.
