Science! Yay!
There’s a lot of just…bullshit on the internet, which is both one of its greatest strengths and greatest weaknesses (like, if stregnth was a mobius strip). When it comes to health information, though, it’s definitely a weakness, because many internet users are never taught critical thinking skills–and even those who think they are executing critical thinking skills by being “sceptical” may be falling into traps of poor logic anyway (see: vaccine denialism, climate change denialism).
I’ve already linked to an awesome site of vaccine safety and facts, Every Child by Two, but I’m delighted to add a new link, as well: HealthyChildren.org. Thanks to the autism hub admin blog for pointing it out!
The more sites pointing towards the new Healthy Children website, the better their google ranking–and it would be awesome to get them to the top of the list when parents search for children’s health information. They are science-based and reliable, and I hope they do fabulously.

Your link is backwards! (It comes up as trying to find Ebct.org instead of what I assume should be ecbt.org.)

I fixed it. This is why I am not allowed to type my own links.
