Bad Science Watch intervenes both in the media and at the governmental level, advocating for stronger consumer protection against false scientific claims that could have an impact on the health of Canadians.[1][2][3] The group's campaigns include raising awareness that homeopathic nos odes are not a proper replacement for vaccines[4][5], rules framing the marketing of natural health products[6] and countering anti-wifi activism.[7]
Its advisory council includes scientists such as Paul Offit, each specializing in an area of interest.[8]
