Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” report was found to have cited at least 7 sources that don’t actually exist.
The “MAHA Report” was published earlier this week from the newly-established Make America Healthy Again Commission. In it, more than 500 sources were used to detail supposed issues within the U.S.’s health system.
According to a Thursday piece from NOTUS, however, the MAHA Report cited multiple studies that don’t appear to be real.
Probably AI but could also be self published crackpot theorist references.
You don’t need AI to make up or mis-cite references. I’ve seen it in science-adjacent political manifestos for decades.
“No one’s going to check the references anyway.” If they do, they’re easily dismissed as haters trying to sow doubt.
Yeah but this is about our health… Fucking hell.
