Trump Administration’s ‘MAHA’ Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist

Emily Kennard and Margaret Manto, reporting last week for NOTUS (“News of The United States” — a seriously good up-and-coming national affairs publication):

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says his “Make America Healthy Again” Commission report harnesses “gold-standard” science, citing more than 500 studies and other sources to back up its claims. Those citations, though, are rife with errors, from broken links to misstated conclusions.

Seven of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all.

Shocking that these dipshits would generate their report with whatever came out of an LLM and not actually check — let alone, you know, read — the cited studies.
