How we research, write, and maintain our content

This page explains how Vaccination-Facts.com researches, writes, structures, and maintains its content. It covers our approach to sourcing, evidence evaluation, uncertainty communication, and content organization. For methodology specific to safety data and adverse event reporting, see our Safety Methodology page.

Research Process

For each topic, our research process follows these steps:

Primary source identification — locate all relevant regulatory documents, clinical trial publications, and official guidance
Secondary source review — identify peer-reviewed literature on the topic
Controversy mapping — identify documented disagreements in the scientific or policy literature
Synthesis — summarize findings in plain language with source links
Review — content reviewed for accuracy before publication

Evidence Standards

We distinguish between:

Established consensus — supported by multiple independent high-quality studies and official guidance
Active scientific debate — areas where peer-reviewed literature contains conflicting findings
Emerging evidence — early or preliminary findings not yet replicated
Contested claims — claims disputed by official bodies or contradicted by peer-reviewed evidence

Each category is clearly labeled in our content.

Uncertainty Communication

Where scientific uncertainty exists, we say so explicitly. We do not overstate confidence in either direction. Where data is limited, we note the limitation. Where expert opinion is divided, we present the division.

Safety Data Methodology

For vaccine safety data, adverse event reporting, and pharmacovigilance content, see our dedicated Safety Methodology page which covers VAERS interpretation, VSD data, and global reporting systems.
