Morbidity and mortality

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) is a weekly epidemiological digest for the United States published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

You can sign up to receive it in your e-mail weekly or access the current version and the archives at the website. There's often something interesting there that isn't getting picked up by the mainstream media and when something does hit the media it's a good place to go for the plain facts.
