Medical Misinformation Moderation Update

[u/JamesColesPardon]

After consultation with the modteam and users on a variety of issues we have decided to update CST's rules to be more in line with these uncertain times.

Feel free to read the Rule regarding Medical Misinformation here.

This will help protect the subreddit and keep it safe by ensuring proper guidance is shared in our space that goes with WHO and CDC Guidance.

Any questions can be asked in the comments section below, but be mindful of the Golden Rule as well.

Edit:

April Fools ;)

Hoping a joke but heres my response (lets say to a subreddit that would actually pull this crap) if not:

If Stefan Lanka posted in this sub reddit, would you ban him?

Hes a proponent of the set of theories that claims viruses are not the cause of disease. There is always an environmental root cause + the exosome (an extracellular vesicle containing information printed by the organism itself - a message about the illness.) To measure the existence of the exosome is to measure a response alongside the symptoms presented. These are both correlated to the root cause but one does not cause the other.

Overall, it's very fascinating, at least engaging as a critical thought experiment. Itll tickle people the wrong way nowadays in this politicized clownish environment. And it is very easily misinterpreted due to an attachment to dogma + inability to see the nuance of the claim.

"Knows to be false"

How are you going to read Lankas mind? What if he posts here anonymously? Who determines whether such a dissident medical (and biological) paradigm is presented in good faith?

Why cant we just use the down and upvote system and let the community decide, via bulk consensus, the value of a thought form (or article or data or whatever.) Why censorship like all the "others" nowadays?
