Look, yes, it's hard but we can distinguish against self-serving, profit-driven quackery/actually dangerous advice *and* genuine scientific disagreement.

Platforms shouldn't fight the last war. If fighting misinformation and papering over all disagreement get conflated, we won't be in a good place. Have y'all ever seen the way real scientists argue things out? It's very different than quackery or selling vitamins to "cure" COVID.
