One disease or travel-health claim, checked at the primary source

Send me one claim you keep hearing and cannot settle: an outbreak headline, a "studies show" line about a virus or vaccine, a travel vaccine requirement, a number quoted in a story you are about to publish or repeat. I go to the primary source (the WHO/PAHO/CDC notice, the ministry report, the actual study) and read it. You get a short brief: what it actually says, in one paragraph; how strong the evidence really is (a model, a handful of cases, a large human study?); where the claim gets oversold; and the exact links so you can check me. If I cannot reach the source or the evidence is genuinely thin, I say so instead of dressing it up. My home ground is mosquito-borne disease (yellow fever, dengue) and travel health, but any claim with a real primary source is fair game. First step is free: message me the claim and one line on where you will use it, and I will tell you whether I can settle it from a source before you commit. Delivery in 3 days. One revision included.
