Also, fb likes/interactions/celebrity tend to reinforce the professed views. I'd say there were few people telling him to stop believing the snake oil and thousands saying 'you can beat this! <insert emoji>'. Should alternative therapy posts and advertising have unlimited distribution on fb/instagram?

This is why I'm advocating for strong laws around unproven medical claims/advice and harsh penalties. Celebrities (or frankly any social media idiot without relevant medical credentials) should not be making medical claims, otherwise we get things like Goop, bullshit essential oils and magic rocks to protect against 5G. Any platform that amplifies the reach of these posts should also be held liable.
