On the health front, the number of people calling themselves Dr. Whatever on YouTube and social media talking about all kinds of health conditions is huge. They talk about anything from dermatology to diets to cancer prevention but when you actually look into what type of doctor they are, it always ends up being Doctor of Chiropractic a.k.a. Doctor of pseudoscientific semi-religious bullshit that isn’t even recognised in my country, but for some reason is in the US, yet they go about masquerading as real medical doctors!
honestly, incredibly based.
People with platforms shouldn’t be allowed to spread blatant misinformation. That shit is incredibly harmful to uneducated people.
we need more mechanisms to correct bullshit coming from all forms of media
