The medical establishment will continue to lose patients and trust to shameless frauds and grifters until access improves. The best thing the healthcare institutions could do to actually protect patients and defund health misinformation would be to work on bottlenecks to care.
The e-celeb shilling fake cancer cures isn't competing with the best of the system, they're competing with what the plebs actually have to work with. When the GP gates testing behind "maybe it's just stress" the supplement salesman offers many different options to try.
But I'm sure policing niche health topics on the Internet is all that's needed to solve everything. It's definitely the alt-health blogs that people barely read moving the needle and not people's actual experiences with the system.
