The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

95%

Examples:

  • But is there a link between these drugs and surprise pregnancies, and just how safe are they?
  • These problems could be due to the drugs causing animals to eat less, leading to inadequate nutrient supply for proper fetal development.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

95%

Examples:

  • At least two cases of this flu mutation have been confirmed in humans in the US.
  • The most commonly prescribed treatment for influenza, oseltamivir (Tamiflu), may be less effective against these mutated viruses due to the I223V and S247N mutations.

Deceptions

55%

Examples:

  • Research has indicated that high doses of these drugs in rats and mice can result in smaller offspring and sometimes birth defects.
  • These drugs belong to a group called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They help patients produce insulin, lower blood sugar levels, and slow down food in the gut. People feel fuller faster, therefore eat less, and lose weight.
