They are commenting on a public forum. If you think they are full of shit and have no useful information, you are free to ignore it. The fact that it is anecdotal testimony in no way justifies being verbally abusive. Your first paragraph inquires as to whether or not they can substantiate their claim. The next four are gratuitous ugliness. You could have stopped at the end of your first paragraph. They could have replied to that. People could judge for themselves if it merited further investigation or not. You having big feels on the topic is not justification for this kind of behavior. They also likely have very big feels about it too and they aren't intentionally shitting on anyone. People bitch all the time about the lack of a cure or the lack of real alternatives. Then, anytime someone has a story of success with an alternative approach, they get shit all over, dismissed as "that's just anecdotal," called crazy and worse, plus outright told they have no right to participate in the conversation because they can't prove their claims. Maybe if the world were not so full of asshole behavior, we could more rapidly find new solutions by listening to the folks who were told it was hopeless who did not politely agree to suffer and die so that other people could feel like they are smart or some shit.
