Talk:Sharyl Attkisson#Edit-protected edit request

I recently removed an unverified date of birth, and swapped birthplace for one supported by several references that state Sarasota, Florida. However I now see there was a previous discussion of alleged errors in place and date of birth initiated by an IP address claiming to be Sharyl Attkisson. Many sources state Attkisson is a Sarasota "native"{{cite news|last=Belcher|first=Walt|title=Keeping up to the minute on TV anchor|work=The Tampa Tribune|date= September 13, 1993|page=4|via= NewsBank|url=https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/document-view?p=AWNB&docref=news/0EB0F2CE58553D0F}}{{cite web |title=Return to her roots |first=Nolan |last=Peterson |work=Siesta Key Observer|url=https://www.yourobserver.com/article/return-her-roots|access-date=2017-11-20 |date=March 13, 2014}}{{cite web |last1=Gould |first1=Janie |title=National reporter recalls start on Treasure Coast |url=https://www.indianrivermagazine.com/national-reporter-recalls-start-on-treasure-coast/ |website=Indian River Magazine |language=en |date=22 July 2020}}{{cite news |last1=Geltner |first1=Ted |title=Keeping an eye on Washington |url=https://www.gainesville.com/story/news/2006/06/05/keeping-an-eye-on-washington/31485925007/ |work=The Gainesville Sun |date=June 5, 2006}} while some explicitly state born in Sarasota.{{cite web |title=Sharyl Attkisson |url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/10/08/broadcasts/main524782.shtml |website=CBS News |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110305055333/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/10/08/broadcasts/main524782.shtml |archive-date=5 March 2011}}{{cite news |last1=Perez |first1=Alicia |title=CBS News taps a Gator for a top job |url=https://www.gainesville.com/story/news/2006/02/08/cbs-news-taps-a-gator-for-a-top-job/31474260007/ |work=The Gainesville Sun |date=February 7, 2006}}"[https://www.c-span.org/video/transcript/?id=8170 Q&A with Sharyl Attkisson]", (March 20, 2009).

Two problems with the starting line. First, each of the three references provided have nothing to do with the assertion "a position rejected by the scientific community". Second, it's improper to claim that the scientific community is a single entity with a single voice, or that this particular question was resolved. Agreed there is dispute as to Vaccine Efficacy and the extent of Adverse Reactions. However, the US Government has a huge system in place for tracking adverse reactions, and some vaccines are pulled from the market because their harm exceeds their good. So we can't throw out every critical report of vaccines on presumptive belief. The article needs to stay on topic, the fact that she reported on a controversial topic is fair game, but jumping on one side is not appropriate. There is significant dispute by medical doctors, scholars, and reporters on the topic of vaccines name="Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History" https://www.amazon.com/Dissolving-Illusions-Disease-Vaccines-Forgotten/dp/1480216895/ref=sr_1_1?crid=Z11JEEY3OM7S&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fghLWYmg8IoPvenJov2OLdTf7SjBu6sEPkg7Hnmi6NVaKsFtnnJ1tXuAw7xpAK9JDH1YdZpCOJFmn9xyNW55oDd9fi8HnFw7lI_97yP5Cs7Jr4m4PZvMt_XY39jGXl2bAXmdsEMvHd9TWlC7QKCszYPyin9Hy0GbnIcKfGrsFSbLidBKZUqdhQ1YajiOgOzC9lz1s1vduiyZk_8CZ3p5ywMIvAmcJSIdGAIEu0OGuVg.GaFlVROzL_jANog7thhjziz3BYAe5sjsvKQA267FAc4&dib_tag=se&keywords=vaccine+history+md&qid=1723900319&s=books&sprefix=vaccine+history+md%2Cstripbooks%2C91&sr=1-1 name="Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022"https://www.amazon.com/Cause-Epidemic-Sudden-Childrens-Defense/dp/1510776397/ref=sr_1_2?crid=ADLLU2ZN62KV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kAZSO7g2YCq-s0DtpvXK5Q7jf8aGuRGsJoRftsZQF24ceJu3gCHu3CUMN5ubp4LopfyBUzwuJyKFgAWJM2F_nrQkrzD77CYR2aFOjr-jr0_Hgk24zui5cHw08XgIsyuLHnbzaCspkMCAm5CRryToERzismi2t4_NZRkpbdSG8IFgdnVtXWpDaiOlEe06X6AqGvjH7LDXGqdt8P9r9VMGjDrrecrT9zJ_BKPias4kYv4.HvqzIVeoVvLgIOqJ_cFdzCu6nBVS7kE-Twpt6GdALM0&dib_tag=se&keywords=covid19+vaccine+deaths&qid=1723900039&s=books&sprefix=covid19+vaccine+deaths%2Cstripbooks%2C90&sr=1-2name="
