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.
Right, because in a democracy, everybody reads all the footnotes.
In a democracy the majority is in charge of society.
And that’s not what we have and it never has been. There was a brief experiment with democracy during Reconstruction before white terror destroyed it, but that’s it.
What does anything you’re saying have to do with checking citations?
The fact that the majority of people don’t believe in this stupid shit should tell you that, actually, the majority of people are informed.
There’s just this persistent and very loud minority of morons who only trust other more charismatic morons who tell them that ivermectin is actually the panacea.
