The MAHA Report Has Been Updated to Replace Citations That Didn’t Exist

An updated version of the report replaces citations, after the White House blamed errors on “formatting.”

The White House is downplaying the “Make America Healthy Again” Commission report’s citation issues, even as it scrambles to fix them.

A NOTUS investigation published Thursday found that at least seven of the report’s citations appeared to not actually exist. The White House publicly blamed any problems with the report on “formatting issues.”

Hours later, a new version of the MAHA report was published on the White House website with all seven of those citations replaced — five with completely different references and two with references to real studies written by the same authors of the nonexistent earlier citations.
