Why he built these sites
Each site in the network was launched in direct response to a public health event — a moment when millions of people needed clear, accurate information and found instead a mix of news articles, clinical-level CDC guidance, and social media noise.
The editorial principle is simple: every health claim must be traceable to a primary source. Speculation is not published. Uncertainty is stated explicitly. Content is corrected when authority guidance changes, not just when it's convenient.
Editorial approach
- Primary sources only: CDC, WHO, FDA, NIH, ECDC, and peer-reviewed journals. Not summaries of other websites.
- Verifiable citations: Every factual claim is linked to its source so readers can verify it themselves.
- Explicit uncertainty: Where scientific consensus is unsettled or incomplete, that is stated on the page. No filling knowledge gaps with inference.
- Monthly review: Each site is reviewed monthly against live authority guidance. Pages are corrected when directly contradicted by current sources.
- Not medical advice: Content is for general education only. Personal health decisions require a qualified healthcare provider.
