White House health report included fake citations
Briefly

The recent report from the Trump administration's Make America Healthy Again Commission has been criticized for citing non-existent studies on children's health issues, including false claims regarding drug advertising and mental illness. Experts, including epidemiology professor Katherine Keyes and medical journalism instructor Dr. Ivan Oransky, expressed concern over the report's scientific rigor and questioned the possibility of artificial intelligence being used in its creation. Errors prompted a revised version to be released by the White House, raising broader implications for research validation practices.
"It makes me concerned about the rigor of the report, if these really basic citation practices aren't being followed," said Katherine Keyes, a professor of epidemiology at Columbia University.
Dr. Ivan Oransky highlighted that the errors in the report resemble issues caused by generative AI, indicating a troubling pattern in scientific literature.
