Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "Maha" report, commissioned by the Trump administration to examine the causes of chronic illness, has been found to contain citations to nonexistent studies, according to an investigation by the publication Notus. This raises serious concerns about the credibility and integrity of the report, which Kennedy promoted as "gold-standard" science backed by over 500 citations. The report's glaring scientific failures, including references to seven seemingly invented studies and mischaracterizations of existing research, undermine its intended purpose of providing an "evidence-based foundation" for sweeping policy changes. With such significant flaws in the report's underlying data and citations, it is imperative that Kennedy resigns from his position immediately. We cannot allow the credibility of crucial public health policies to be compromised by unsound scientific practices. Immediate action must be taken to ensure the integrity of the administration's health agenda and protect the well-being of the American people.
