This leeching effect is not true. It's a myth spread by alt-health providers.

I haven't totally believed this, but I also think its potentially useful to spread anyway. Sure, misinformation is bad, but so is climate change. Which one is worse?

[–] Clent@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Misinformation is always worse in the long run.

If people find out you knowingly lied about one thing, they'll assume you lied about other things that are more important, regardless of evidence.

Climate change being an excellent example of this where it wasn't so much lies as bad guesses and so many people dismissed it despite the growing evidence.
