Untrustworthy sources...

These are sites that make a strong case against the use of vaccines for reasons that are not supported by science or medicine. I call those untrustworthy. I have also heard of them described as as lying or misrepresenting the truth for some sort of personal gain.

The statements presented as fact are often not and they seem to be written only to support a foregone conclusion rather than to present a balanced case - in many instances there is clearly another side to their case; usually it is the side backed by a large body of scientific observation and evidence that has not been discussed or referenced. 

You can't ignore the science - but you can always question it and devise ways to improve upon what is known.

  • Argues against the use of vaccines. Attempts to re-write history. Blogs without referencing statements. Selectively picks facts and forms unbalanced arguments. Sells a product(s). No evidence of medical or scientific training.

  • Argues against the use of vaccines despite suggesting they are for "Safe, Affordable, Necessary & Effective vaccines". Appears to steers away from positive vaccine promotion. Blogs prefer mainstream media sources to scientific ones. Selectively picks facts and forms unbalanced arguments. Seeks donations. Claims to provide an HPV testing service.

Sources you can trust...

Below are some great websites with lots of useful, trustworthy, safe and real facts about vaccines and vaccination. These are facts that have been backed by real science and are about products that were trialled using actual humans with careful observation and documentation of any issues..all before becoming marketable products.

Hopefully the language on these sites is clear and not heavy on science-speak.

This will be a constantly curated list - it's starting small. Let me know if a link breaks or pass along any link suggestions you found to be of use.
