An investigation by Notus reveals Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s health commission report contains references to studies that do not exist. The 73-page report, framed as a scientifically rigorous analysis of chronic illness causes and endorsed by the Trump administration, erroneously claims over 500 citations, including seven fictional studies. Several researchers mentioned in the report have denied authorship of the studies cited. Additionally, the report mischaracterizes legitimate research, raising serious doubts about its scientific integrity and the motivations behind Kennedy's critique of established medical journals.
The report exposes glaring scientific failures from a health secretary who earlier this week threatened to ban government scientists from publishing in leading medical journals.
Kennedy promoted it as gold-standard science backed by more than 500 citations includes references to seven studies that appear to be entirely invented.
Harold J Farber, a pediatric specialist supposedly behind research on asthma overprescribing, told Notus he never wrote the cited paper and had never worked with the other listed authors.
Kennedy, a noted skeptic of vaccines, criticized medical publishing this week, branding top journals the Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine and Jama as corrupt.
