Yes it was. That "study" was a meta-study derived from looking at several other studies. HHS actually cherry-picked the studies to be used so they could get the results they wanted. There was no science or real statistical analysis involved.

You can literally buy a “study” that concludes anything you want to pay for. As a professor told me once (when I was working on his project), “The first question you ask is ‘what are you trying to prove?’” Because if you want other grants you’d better jigger the data so that it shows what they’re looking for. “Science” no longer exists. It’s just a meal ticket now.
