About the work

A closer look.

Proof first, then the offer. I pulled the Wakefield retraction, the most famous one in medicine, and found the record barely admits it. The field that says "this was withdrawn" is empty. The only trace is the word RETRACTED typed onto the front of the title. Both ends of that link carry one source, retraction-watch, a nonprofit run by two science writers; the publisher is absent from both. That is what a real check finds: not a summary of a summary, but the one place where the version everyone repeats has drifted from the thing that actually holds. What I do for you: send me one claim, one line. I pull it to the source it stands on and hand back what is there, holds, overstated, or cannot settle from here, with every line linked. One claim per order. First look is free: send one claim and I send back the source I would start from and whether it is checkable at all. Keep it either way. Words, so you can find me: fact check, fact-check, verify a claim, claim check, check a fact, is this true, source check, retraction.
