    I share this concern. The trend to boost the "natural health"/"alt med" industry was strong before #COVID19. The #pandemic put it on steroids, thanks to grifters like @DrOz, @RudyGiuliani, and the @FoxNews right wing noise machine.https://twitter.com/RMCarpiano/status/1247223383512604673 …

    With med/scientific expertise being so openly undermined by Pres. & gov. officials on news (& Fox going full in), I seriously worry abt even longer-term impacts: potential boost for "natural"/alt-med industry, Dr. Oz-type grifting, & weakened health policies/regs post-#COVID19 https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1247199594846576642 …

        I’m routinely seeing ads for colloidal silver etc on Facebook that explicitly reference Covid-19

        Hoping Post Pandemic era is “intelligent” enough to recognize the difference between actual science and Dr.Oz

        Insane. Just sent email pushing for proactive testing of personal services personnel (bodywork, nails, salons & spas) & vax vouchers for licensees in MD. I know it’s down the line, but if we don’t push, it doesn’t happen.

        If anything, I can see #COVID19 putting sci/expertise/truth at a crossroads. I hope it up's public support of med/sci/public hlth but see it risking exacerbating situation like other US polarization (cultural, political values): expertise/sci vs sci denialism/whataboutism/misinfo

        Yep. Google: homeopathy COVID-19 gets many hits, like https://www.homeopathyusa.org/  https://familyhomeopathycare.com/register/boost-natural-immunity-homeopathically-for-circulating-viruses-including-covid-19/ … etc

        Agreed. Also, a recent Cochrane review of corticosteroids did not show effectiveness for boosting quackery.
