The US Government report cites non -existent sources, academics say

A US government report on children’s health cited “fully crafted” studies to support their discoveries, academics are mistakenly listed as authors of these studies.

First released on May 22, the report caused in detail the causes of a “chronic disease crisis” among children in the United States. A modified version was issued on May 29 after the digital output notus found that it used seven non -existing sources.

White House press release secretary Carolyn Levitt said he had “formatting problems” and the report would be updated, but “does not cancel the nature of the report”.

US Health Secretary, Robert F Kennedy, Jr., who has increased the debunking of the allegations that vaccines cause autism, led the department behind the report.

He comes to the back of one of the US President Donald Trump, who is echoing executive orders earlier this year, more special about “studying the scope of the crisis with chronic childhood illness and any potential causes of contribution.”

Issued by the Make American Healthy Again CommissionThe report concluded that a bad diet, ecological toxins, stress, insufficient physical activity and “overmedization” can contribute to chronic diseases among American children.

But the authors of several studies cited in the report told news newspapers that they had not written them and that the studies never existed.

Guohua Li, a professor at the University of Colombia, who was appointed author of the Pandemic Mental Health Report, told Agance France-Presse that the reference was “fully fabricated” and did not even know the co-author listed.

He is named as an author with Noah Kreski, a researcher at the University of Colombia, who also denies writing it, saying to AFP, “it doesn’t seem to be a study that exists at all.”

Catherine Keys, a professor of epidemiology who told the News Agency Reuters that he was also misinterpreted as an author, said: “This makes me concerned, given that the practices of citation are an important part of conducting and reporting strict science.”

Another study cited about the advertising of psychotropic medicines for youth was not written on the author’s list, the university in which he hires it, told AFP and Reuters.

Thehe Democratic National Committee The accused Ministry of Health and Human Services of RFK Jr. to “justify its political priorities with sources that do not exist” and the use of quotations that “are full of errors, from disturbed links to wrong conclusions.”

RFK JR was sworn as a US health secretary in February. Ever since he took office he has cut thousands of jobs in Health Department and plans to introduce placebo tests for all new vaccinesS
