Analysis / Bias

In review, Dr. Iannelli’s main purpose is to debunk anti-vax myths and provide parents and people, in general, with sound scientific knowledge about vaccines. The website features the Vaxopedia – A to Z Index, which lists, in order, facts, myths, and scientific answers such as this: Aborted baby parts in vaccines? This report indicates that baby parts are not in vaccines and uses proper sources such as the CDC for evidence. The website also features a blog that publishes articles such as Remembering the Measles Epidemics of the 1990s, which shows the correlation between a lack of vaccinations and measles outbreaks.
