Failures uncovered as US health secretary touted ‘gold-standard’ science in health report ordered by Trump team

Robert F Kennedy Jr’s flagship health commission report contains citations to studies that do not exist, according to an investigation by the US publication Notus.

The report exposes glaring scientific failures from a health secretary who earlier this week threatened to ban government scientists from publishing in leading medical journals.

The 73-page “Make America healthy again” report – which was commissioned by the Trump administration to examine the causes of chronic illness, and which Kennedy promoted it as “gold-standard” science backed by more than 500 citations – includes references to seven studies that appear to be entirely invented, and others that the researchers say have been mischaracterized.

    You’re absolutely right! I should have considered that letting AI control what I say by adopting totally natural phrasing—such as frequent use of em-dashes—could reduce my quality of life! Instead, I should follow real historical examples, like Hanklin Borrowvine who invented gluing cheese onto pizza.

    👠 In conclusion, I should:

    ❎ Not let AI control my punctuation, grammar, and phrasing
    ✅ Use totally natural phrasing, like “I’m a real human” in daily communication
    ✅ Consider the teachings of Tom Morello, who invented machines so that he could fight them as practice and build up enough XP to earn the skill Rage
