A Milestone In Snake Oil.

NOTUS: A NOTUS investigation found that the MAHA commission report cites studies that appear to not exist. Does the WH have confidence that the info coming from HHS can be trusted?

NOTUS went through the report and found that it is one big pile of garbage:

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says his “Make America Healthy Again” Commission report harnesses “gold-standard” science, citing more than 500 studies and other sources to back up its claims. Those citations, though, are rife with errors, from broken links to misstated conclusions.

Seven of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all.

Read the whole thing. You won’t believe how bad it is. But you will believe that Bobby Jr. is thrilled because it coincidentally finds that all of his cracked, personal hobby horses turn out to be totally true!

‘At its core, this report is a call to action for common sense.’ – @SecKennedy 🇺🇸

Read the whole thing if you have time. It’s so bad.

By the way

Update —

By the way, it’s not just HHS that’s sloppy and full of shit:

DOGE claims to be responsible for $175B in estimated savings but investigative reporter @Fahrenthold tells @InsidePolitics, "A lot of that claim is not substantiated at all. They haven't shown us the receipts… When you look closely, you find that there's huge errors." pic.twitter.com/QaUDUJIusz
