Democrats on the Senate’s health committee said Thursday that they were angry but unsurprised about errors and nonexistent studies cited in the “Make America Healthy Again” Commission’s report.

“Making up ‘scientific studies’ to further prove your conspiracy theories is disqualifying. RFK must resign,” Sen. Angela Alsobrooks said in an email to NOTUS.

The inconsistencies in the report — first reported by NOTUS — reignited criticism about Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s commitment to scientific rigor. Democrats already concerned about Kennedy’s leadership of the agency said they were proven right.
