The problem with with freedom to just post whatever by whoever, even if with credentials (perhaps more so) is that it can influence people in the wrong way, before it is criticized or debunked. Even so, there is ample evidence that plenty of people take any info that supports their point or worldview and stick with it and repeat it, even after it has been critiqued or shown to be wrong, etc. So I don’t think complete freedom of speech is a good thing. You have to consider the negative effects, as long as there are negative effects, you can’t say it’s unanimously “good”. That being said, there already is a channel for Doctors and researchers to publish: peer reviewed journals. Key words here “peer review”, this is when other professionals in your field of research review your work. And it’s not youtube or a blog post or social media. The fact that they went around the peer review process should Make you suspicious about their agenda.
