RFK Jr’s ‘Maha’ report found to contain citations to nonexistent studies

[loveofourlord]

I'm going to be super generous here. There are over 500 citations in the report (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/MAHA-Report-The-White-House.pdf) and I would expect a couple of errors. That there are more than a couple is concerning. It shows sloppy work. A lack of diligence. But I can't accept that it was intentional. Surely no-one would think that the authors of any study listed would not check to see how it had been used. Nobody is stupid enough to think that 'hey, no-one will notice'.

Well, except maybe the guy sitting behind the Resolute Desk.

to be fair, I doubt anyone did it intentionally, it's obviously like trump, using AI to do it, it has multiple parts back to back repeated, fake information and citations, it has all the hallmarks of chatgpt hallucinations and such.

I'm so amazed at how quickly RFK jr has deteriated, again I was expecting to have to wait till fall when his anti vax rhertoric caused flu season to be a dangerous problem. it's scary and insane how anyone this dangerous and stupid could be in charge of anything, let alone health.

I don't get why someone with a least a medical degree isn't put in charge of health. You've got to go back quite a few years in the US (and Australia as it turns out) before you have a medically qualified person in charge.

well as the saying goes, "He's not a doctor but plays one on tv.

He pretends to know alot about medicine, but is a quack fraud
