One has to imagine it: The central health report of the US government - the very document that is supposed to provide millions of people with guidance on health issues - is crammed full of fabricated sources, dead links, and digital watermarks that reveal an unspoken authorship: artificial intelligence.
What is marketed under the title Make America Healthy Again is not a report but a product of algorithms. Quotes that never existed. References that lead nowhere. A political vision based on synthetic keywords, not scientific evidence. It is as if someone fed a search engine with ideology and then expected truth to come out.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s Health Secretary and once a celebrated environmental lawyer, not only tramples on scientific standards - he instrumentalizes AI to replace political responsibility with computational operations. Instead of delivering solid research, peer-reviewed studies, or verifiable statistics, his department presents a collage of speculation, distortion, and neural probability.
That such texts hallucinate is well known. That they are nonetheless allowed to appear as official government documents is a scandal. And a dangerous one at that. Because health policy must not be based on “maybe.” It must not rely on the hope that no one will check what is cited as a source.
What is missing from this report is just as revealing as what it includes: No mention of COVID-19. No mention of the disastrous access to basic medical care. No mention of gun violence - even though it has become the leading cause of death among children in the United States. Instead - pseudo-scientific general diagnoses, arbitrarily combinable, media-compatible, politically useful.
Kennedy’s report preaches personal responsibility - in a country that structurally abandons millions of people. It praises programs like WIC, which demonstrably improve the health of mothers and children. At the same time, his administration supports legislation that cuts exactly these programs.
The irony is grotesque - while scientists are to be banned from publishing in academic journals, this report quietly draws from those very journals - as long as they fit the narrative. One cites what is useful. And remains silent about what is inconvenient.
This gives rise to a new form of public deception - one that no longer arrives bluntly but instead operates with footnotes, chatbot quotes, and a veneer of supposed objectivity. The danger lies precisely in this - that these texts pretend to be rational. Pretend to be neutral. Pretend to be true.
But they are not. They are hallucinations with a ministerial seal. And they are an attack on everything that defines good health policy - education, evidence, responsibility.
It would be easy to withdraw the document, admit the mistakes, and scientifically revise it. But that is not the goal. The goal is to replace trust with confusion. And in the end, to leave people’s medical fate to the free market and their own luck.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calls that freedom. I call it state-sanctioned disinformation.
