It's important to remember that by and large, people decide what they support on the basis of what makes them emotionally feel better, and then find evidence for it.
People who castigate the medical and pharmaceutical industries for being corrupt and then wholeheartedly advocate for one treatment or another as "the solution" based on articles they found on the Internet from unknown sources aren't and were never operating from a place of logic - as though nobody on the Internet was ever maliciously motivated or trying to make a buck.
There's no point in a discussion based on "the evidence" with these individuals, except maybe to point out the cognitive dissonance at play.
