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.”
It looks like the MAHA report is still a mess, though.
While the replacement references all appear to be to real sources, it’s not immediately clear whether they all support the claims the report is making.
The study included in the original report supposedly written by epidemiologist Katherine Keyes, for example, was replaced with a link to an article from KFF Health News on a similar topic.
The new version of the report also swapped citations that NOTUS identified as being misinterpreted in the original. A study that was originally cited to back up the report’s claim that psychotherapy can be as effective as psychotherapeutic drugs in the short term was replaced with another study after one of the first study’s authors told NOTUS that their research didn’t actually include psychotherapy as one of its conditions.
Another administration source stood by the report. “Citation issues happen all the time,” they told NOTUS. “The bulk of the report is still factually accurate — nothing changes in the report.”
