About This Site

CoronavirusQuestions.com was built to provide clear, sourced, and accurate information about SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 at a time when misinformation about the virus, its vaccines, and its treatments spread alongside the pandemic itself.

Our goal is to present what peer-reviewed science and public health consensus actually show — including where that consensus is uncertain or evolving — without sensationalism, political framing, or commercial distortion.

All content is written for a general audience and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Readers with health concerns should consult a licensed healthcare provider.

We evaluate sources using a hierarchy of evidence standard consistent with evidence-based medicine:

1. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (highest confidence)
2. Individual randomized controlled trials (RCTs) — especially large, preregistered, double-blind trials
3. Prospective cohort studies with appropriate controls
4. Peer-reviewed observational studies published in indexed journals
5. Guidance from major public health agencies — CDC, WHO, NIH, FDA, ECDC — where based on the above evidence
6. Preprints (medRxiv, bioRxiv) — cited only where noted, with explicit caution, and not used as primary evidence for clinical claims

We do not cite press releases, social media posts, or news articles as primary evidence for scientific or clinical claims. We cite the underlying peer-reviewed study directly.

• All clinical statistics (efficacy percentages, mortality figures, trial enrollment numbers) are sourced to the specific published study, with a direct link to the DOI or source URL.
• Where scientific consensus exists, we state it clearly and distinguish it from areas of active debate.
• Where evidence is contested or preliminary, we say so explicitly rather than presenting one interpretation as settled fact.
• Debunked claims (hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, microchip theories) are covered with full citation of the disconfirming trial data, not just assertion.
• Content is reviewed periodically and updated when major new evidence changes the picture — particularly on fast-moving topics like variants, vaccine effectiveness, and Long COVID.

CoronavirusQuestions.com has no affiliation with any pharmaceutical company, vaccine manufacturer, government agency, or political organization. No content on this site is sponsored, ghost-written, or editorially influenced by any commercial entity.

The site earns revenue through two independent channels — Google AdSense display advertising and Amazon Associates affiliate links — neither of which influences editorial decisions. Product recommendations in affiliate sections are selected on the basis of independent quality criteria (ratings, verified reviews, brand reputation), not affiliate commission rates. Affiliate disclosures appear adjacent to every affiliate link.

Amazon Associates: CoronavirusQuestions.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click an Amazon link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This does not affect our product recommendations or editorial content.

No sponsored content: No articles, pages, or product recommendations on this site are paid placements. If that ever changes, it will be explicitly labeled as sponsored content.

• Author: This site is written and researched by Andy Wilcox, an independent researcher, not a physician. Nothing on this site is medical advice.
• Primary-source research: Content is based on peer-reviewed studies and official guidance from bodies such as the CDC and WHO — not summaries of other websites.
• Verifiable citations: We cite specific studies and primary sources so readers can verify claims themselves.
• Kept current: Content is reviewed and updated when new evidence changes the picture.
• Consult a professional: For personal medical decisions, readers should consult a qualified healthcare professional.

COVID-19 science has evolved rapidly since 2020. We review and update content on an ongoing basis as new evidence emerges. Pages covering clinical topics (symptoms, treatment, Long COVID, vaccines) are the highest priority for review when new major studies are published.

The news feed (covid-news) and research index (covid-research) are updated daily via automated scripts pulling from verified sources.
