Evidence, read off the primary source — page 4
No pattern-matched citations and no PMIDs pulled from memory. Every regulatory date, study, and label quote below was fetched live and checked against its primary source before publication — see each article's reference list. 124 articles published so far.
How we verify a source
A PubMed citation is checked against PubMed's own record, not typed from recall. A regulatory page is fetched live and quoted, not paraphrased from a secondary blog. If a claim cannot be verified this way, it is softened or removed — never guessed.
