>Health misinformation or unsound opinions that can be interpreted as medical advice shared by influential public figures, such as Musk, could have wide-reaching repercussions, said Steven Hoffman, a professor of global health, law and political science at York University in Toronto who has published research on how celebrities influence people’s health decisions. Oh no! Someone said something bad about a pharmaceutical product! This is extremely dangerous to our democracy! /s Seriously, I don't get why some comments on Twitter "put people at risk". This is rather disreputable of the WaPo, but par for the course to cheerlead for greater censorship of "misinformation", which to me appears to be the angle of this article. I do not want greater machinations of the state empowered to police peoples' opinions and shitposting. I would love to see evidence that this puts people "at risk".
