The White House is downplaying major citation errors in a sweeping report on chronic disease in children released last week by the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission. The report, spearheaded by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., cited hundreds of studies and was billed as an example of “radical transparency” and “gold standard” science. But the nonprofit news publication NOTUS reported yesterday that multiple studies cited in the report—which took aim at ultraprocessed foods, pesticides, prescription drugs, and childhood vaccines—don’t appear to exist. The outlet also identified dozens of other errors in the report’s bibliography, including broken links, missing or incorrect authors, and incorrect issue numbers.
