If she really is wrong, all that needs to happen is for an equally eloquent, persuasive person to get up on their own soapbox and oppose her.
Right; because all it takes to combat misinformation is the gleaming antidote of truth! As evidenced with global warming, or anti-vaccine sentiment (per your own example). I don't like censorship either, but it's naive to think that misinformation can be easily defeated by counter-argument. Once it's taken hold, it's very difficult to uproot.
Research has shown that it's much easier to believe an idea than it is to disbelieve it, and that once an idea is catalogued as "truth" it's even harder to disbelieve. Even when an ingrained idea is finally rejected as false and mentally struck out, it still has an influence on reasoning. Per this study: link. This gets even worse when it comes to issues that are tied up in identity, like politics. link.
Point being that wars of belief are not waged on a fair field. The best way to prevent misinformation is most certainly to prevent it from being heard in the first place. I don't propose a solution, but just giving everyone a platform and hoping that the truth shakes out is a losing proposition.
Belief bias is the tendency to judge the strength of arguments based on the plausibility of their conclusion rather than how strongly they support that conclusion. A person is more likely to accept an argument that supports a conclusion that aligns with their values, beliefs and prior knowledge, while rejecting counter arguments to the conclusion.
