Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s gold standard isn’t a gold standard. It’s a gold joke. The health commission report is a scientific failure and doesn’t reflect well, considering RFK considered banning government scientists from publishing in medical journals.
“MAHA” or “Make America Healthy Again” was a 73 page report which examined illnesses and set to guide public policy referred to 7 studies invented by ChatGPT and twisted scientific studies. How can America move forward in health if we rely on health advice from ChatGPT. Or that our health expert decides that vaccines cause autism, causing widespread anti-vaccine sentiments. Public health must be protected, and not put at risk by incompetent individuals.
The cover-up is laughable as well. The US press secretary called it a “formatting” issue. Is it really a formatting issue or an intellectual one? You simply cannot format your studies or format your ChatGPT usage either. Several authors of reports that were named knew it was totally fabricated. And the scary thing is that it’s only thanks to journalistic fact checking.
It’s why media watchdogs and democracy exists. If Trump or other bad actors can publish fake information and get away with it, America will head down a dark path. All of this misinformation also reflects on the Trump administration. We need people to stand up and defend the truth.
