RFK Jr.’s ‘MAHA report’ revealed to have cited studies that don’t exist, and misinterpreted others

Robert F. Kennedy Junior “MAAA report” consisting of 73 pages, commissioned by the Trump administration, last week. In order to find the radical causes of chronic diseases in the United States, they included sections of childhood, ultra -treated foods, chemicals, mental health for children, medicine and vaccines for children.

It was cited 522 studies, as RFK described the report “a teacher” for public health full of the “Golden Standard” flag.

But her sincerity now was scrutinized, as the non-partisan profit outlets revealed that many studies have been misrepresented in the report-and that seven of them were not present.

Notos told the “Catherine Keys Specialist”, which was cited in the report as an author of anxiety about adolescents entitled “Changes in mental health and the use of materials between American teenagers during the Covid-19 pandemic,”

“The aforementioned paper is not a real paper in which my colleagues or I was involved,” Keys told Notus. “We definitely conducted a research on this topic, but we did not publish a paper in pediatrics On this topic with this joint group, or with this address. “

The link for the alleged study is broken, and the issue of the magazine, which the report cited that it does not contain papers on this topic.

Notos also revealed that two leafs in the report department cannot be found on “companies capturing companies”. Each of them explains the concept that the direct advertisement to the consumer was leading the use of drugs between children and adolescents. But one of the authors who were martyred confirmed that he did not write the article mentioned in the report, while the other researcher does not seem to be present.

In another case, Dr. Harold J. Farber, a child’s lung disease specialist, writing a study cited under the title, “American children take many medications – a modern and emerging crisis.” He said he did not work with other authors listed in the list.

Data misrepresentation

Farber Notos told the Maha report that led to the enhancement of excessive research on the excessive prescribed prescription for children.

“It is a tremendous leap of belief in generalization from a study in the Medicaid Mumor’s care program in Texas using data from 2011 to 2015 to national care patterns in 2025.”

This seemed a common topic in the rest of the report. In one section on mental health drugs – another point of disagreement for Kennedy – the report cents evidence that the treatment alone is or more effective of psychiatry. But according to one of the statistics in that paper, this is not the accurate ready -made meals. Joan McKenzi, a professor of biological statistics at an Australian university, told Notos that their study had not been measured or compared to the effectiveness of treatment as a treatment for mental health at all.

“We have not included psychotherapy in our review. We only compared the effectiveness of antidepressants (the new generation) against each other, and against the imaginary medicine,” she said in an email to Notos.

Notos revealed more inaccurate representation in the report: Another study was reported to be cited to claim that “anti -psychopathies for children increased by 800 % between 1993 and 2009”, but the years were in fact 1995 to 2005.

Another medical researcher revealed to the Notus that the Maha report had worsened on how the screen time affects children’s sleep – and this was held, the RFK JR report. By naming the wrong publication magazine to study.

“The conclusions mentioned in the report are not accurate and the magazine reference is incorrect. It has not been published in pediatrics. Also, the study was not done in children, but at university students.

The Trump administration responds

In response to the results of Notos, the journalist secretary Caroline Levitte described “coordination issues”, and stated that the White House has “complete confidence” in both RFK JR. The Maha Committee.

She said at a press conference on Thursday: “I understand that there are some coordination problems with the MAAA report that is being addressed, and the report will be updated,” she said at a press conference on Thursday. “But it does not deny the essence of the report, which, as you know, is one of the most transformative health reports issued by the federal government at all, and is supported by a good science that has not been recognized by the federal government.”
