Health officials reportedly told the affected individuals that the lower dose was still acceptable, leading to criticism of the "scientific" consistency of the rollout.

This "July Effect" is characterized by an increase in medical errors as inexperienced staff take on clinical responsibilities. The observation suggests that some current mortality statistics may be influenced by this annual trend rather than the virus alone.

Despite marketing claims that the AI was trained on real patient data, it was actually programmed using hypothetical scenarios created by doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering. In one instance, the system recommended a drug that could cause fatal hemorrhaging in a bleeding patient, leading to accusations that IBM is experimenting with human health in real-time.
