Is medical misinformation on this site dangerous?

There are a few very vocal, prolific posters who post tons of anti-vaxing propaganda. Is this dangerous misinformation during a pandemic or just preaching to the ignorant choir?
Is Similar Worlds complicit by allowing it?

Spreading conspiracy theories online isn't nearly as dangerous as getting medical advice from social media.

For the most part I think reading all that bullshit just reinforces how stupid it really is.

But if it were to be deleted it would just reinforce their notion that they know the "truth". Let them post their stupid shit, I always love reading new conspiracy theories anyway.

@hippyjoe1955 wow so someone is automatically stupid just because they make a different choice than you did? That's real nice

@Sammieee So let me ask you a question: Given that no vax can be shown to be safe or effective unless there has been 3 to 10 years of testing and this experimental gene therapy (its not a vaccine) has not been tested or proven..... Why would any intelligent person rush out to get it?

@hippyjoe1955 lol I didn't even say what my opinion on it is, my parents don't think much different than u but they aren't so rude about it. Every post I see from u is being nasty to anyone who disagrees, there's no need for that

@Sammieee There is a reason for that. If you don't understand it move on.

@hippyjoe1955 In what way is it experimental gene therapy? It doesn’t alter any genes.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@sputnik Do you know what MRNA is? it is genes. You are right though. It doesn't alter the genes but it causes the body to build something based on the MRNA that was injected into it. The body builds the spike protein/prion and the cell that produces it is destroyed by the body's immune system. The idea being that the body will learn to attack the artificial spike protein/prion and then attack any real spike protein later on. The problem being is the body attacks itself and does damage to itself since it is attacking its own cells that started making the spike protein/prion. If the cells destroyed are in the walls of the blood vessels the blood vessels may start to 'leak' and blood clots form. Such blood clots can become very large and very dangerous. This is what happened to my brother in law. The blood clots in the brain caused a stroke. It was fatal.

@hippyjoe1955 There’s conclusive evidence that the vaccine caused the clotting, or it’s being used to further ones belief?

@hippyjoe1955 Yes I know what mRNA is, and I wonder why you’re talking about spike proteins and prions in the same term. A spike protein isn’t a prion.
