I was strictly referring to the polarisation of opinions in the context of Covid vaccines. It was just a statement. (I have all my shots, covid + recommended vaccines, regular flu, etc). I don't want to go everyday to studies, as this is not may job (although I want to have the possibility to do this when I want, which I currently can), but I need a reliable source to do this (being their actual day to day job) and read that reliable summary somewhere.

On COVID specifically, Five Thirty Eight has an interesting project: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/covid-19-updates/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/covid-19-updates/ For general and specific health questions, this is reasonably curated: https://medlineplus.gov/healthtopics.html https://medlineplus.gov/healthtopics.html For a reesearch feed: https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/top/health/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/top/health/ For a variety of sources, generally reputable: https://openmd.com/directory/news https://openmd.com/directory/news

  One more, a reliable attempt at making sense of sources, started during COVID but now broader: https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/ https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/ Who am I? My name is Dr. Katelyn Jetelina. I have a Masters in Public Health and PhD in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I am an epidemiologist, data scientist, wife, and mom to two little girls. During the day I work at a nonpartisan health policy think tank and am a senior scientific consultant to a number of organizations, including the CDC. At night I write this newsletter. My main goal is to “translate” the ever-evolving public health science so that people will be well equipped to make evidence-based decisions. This newsletter started in March 2020 to update students, faculty, and staff on the developments of the pandemic. In 36 months, it’s grown to an international audience. What is this? The purpose of this newsletter is to provide a direct line of “translated” public health science to the local, national, and international community. Over the past two years, I’ve covered COVID-19 topics ranging from variants, to vaccines and booster roll outs, to exciting new developments like antivirals, and context to some of our greatest unanswered questions. YLE has also started to dip into other public health topics, like mental health, other infectious diseases, and public health current events (thanks to the feedback from the YLE audience). My hope is that, together, YLE provides breadth and depth into the pandemic, epidemiology, and public health overall. Public health touches all of our lives, even outside of a pandemic.
