What This Feed Is — and What It Is Not
This page is an aggregated headline feed, not original journalism. Items are pulled automatically from third-party news sources, each headline links to the publisher, and the source is named on every card. We do not rewrite, summarise or verify the underlying reporting, and a headline appearing here is not an endorsement of its accuracy. The date on each card is the publisher's.
The researched content on this site is separate. Every clinical page carries a review date, a named author, and citations to primary sources — CDC and WHO pages, FDA decisions, and peer-reviewed papers by DOI — read directly rather than taken from news coverage. If a claim matters, check it on the topic page rather than in this feed:
- Variants — CDC's own lineage estimates with confidence intervals, and why no lineage can currently be called dominant
- Vaccines — the three pivotal trials side by side, and the 2026–2027 formulation decision
- Treatment — the antiviral trials with absolute risk differences, not just relative ones
- Symptoms and Long COVID — every quantified claim traced to the study it comes from
Where a news story and a primary source conflict, this site follows the primary source and records any correction on the corrections page. Older items move to the news archive.
