We're playing with machines that we don't fully understand, which can move faster than we can, and we're giving them more and more autonomy. AIs don't have to kill ALL humans for us to legitimately begin to worry.

Hawking fake medicine during a pandemic is equivalent to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater: if too many take it, it can swamp already-stressed medical institutions. Unfortunately, we are obligated to take care of mass Darwin Award candidates who gulp down Bozo Paste on the advice of their clown-cult leaders*.

You can take it to court in the meantime, but in the short term the Prez has emergency powers during pandemics to tell you to STFU.

* Time for another big comet, just not during a pandemic.
