Washington (AP) – The White House will correct errors in a highly anticipated federal government report led by the American secretary for health and social services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.Who has decried the American food supply, pesticides and prescription drugs.
“Make Kennedy’s healthy America in good health again” reportpublished last week, cited hundreds of studies, but a Look more closely by the press organization Notus noted that some of these studies did not really exist.
Asked about the reporting problems, the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the report would be updated.
“I understand that there have been formatting problems with the MAHA report which are treated and the report will be updated.” Leavitt told journalists during his briefing. “But that does not deny the substance of the report, which, as you know, is one of the most transformed health relationships ever published by the federal government.
Kennedy has repeatedly declared that he would bring “radical transparency” and “standard” science to public health agencies. But the secretary refused to publish details on which wrote the 72-page report, which calls for a meticulous examination of the calendar of infant vaccines and describes the children of the country as oversized and undernourished.
Leavitt said the White House has “total confidence” in Kennedy.
“The minor quote and formatting errors have been corrected,” said HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon in a statement sent by e-mail. He described the report as a “historical evaluation and transformative of the federal government to understand the chronic disease epidemic distressing the children of our nation”.
Notus reported Thursday that seven of the more than 500 studies mentioned in the report never seemed to have been published. The author of a study confirmed that even if she had conducted research on the subjects of anxiety in children, she has never written the report listed. Some studies have also been misinterpreted in the Maha report. The problematic quotes were on subjects around children’s screen time, the use of drugs and anxiety.
Kennedy’s Maha report had already made concerns among Trump’s loyalists, including farmers who criticized the way the report characterized pulverized chemicals on American crops.
The report is supposed to be used to develop political recommendations that will be published later this year. The White House requested an increase of $ 500 million in Congress for the Maha initiative in Kennedy.
