So… once again #RFJK didn’t read his own report. Shocked!😳 Maybe he should retract it? 🤔

“I reviewed Kennedy’s “evidence.” It doesn’t support ending mRNA vaccine development. It makes the case for expanding it.”

Kennedy's case against mRNA vaccines collapses under his own evidence

“This isn't scientific disagreement. It's either staggering incompetence or willful misrepresentation,” writes infectious disease physician Jake Scott.

STAT

Jeepers… Bridle and McCullough. 🤦‍♂️

Is a given then that they not only don’t understand what they are reading but they are reading simply to bolster their priors.

Just reading the summary list screams this.

“We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted,” Secretary Kennedy said earlier this week, when he announced he was discontinuing #BARDA investments in #mRNA vaccines.

Data vs. Doubt: Danish Scientist Responds to U.S. HHS Secretary Critique of Aluminum Vaccine Study

Anders Hviid, August 3, 2025, Copenhagen In his opinion piece published August 1, 2025, on Trialsite News, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services raises a number of methodological concerns, couched in needlessly vitriolic rhetoric, about our study on aluminum-adsorbed vaccines and early childhood health conditions published July 15 in Annals of Internal Medicine. I have tried to summarize these briefly in the following list:

The #RFJK #MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist https://www.notus.org/health-science/make-america-healthy-again-report-citation-errors

“Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says his “Make America Healthy Again” Commission report harnesses “gold-standard” science, citing more than 500 studies and other sources to back up its claims. Those citations, though, are rife with errors, from broken links to misstated conclusions.”

In the list of things that piss me off this is right up there. Brandolini on steroids.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist

The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.
