Got called out by a commenter on that 'miracle mineral' article for missing the FDA warning citations

They pointed out the original source was a blog with zero medical credentials, so I rewrote the whole piece with actual CDC data instead, has anyone else had to kill a story after bad sourcing?

Did you catch that CDC data is actually way harder to misinterpret than those blog posts make it seem?

Why is it always some random blog that gets the attention before the real facts have a chance? That's a tough spot to be in, but good on you for digging into the CDC data and rebuilding from there. Sounds like you turned a mess into something way more solid.
