One of the critical problem in hive that there is no moderation, which IS a good thing, and very powerful. But with great power comes great responsibility, we are a bit weak on that. So what is happening that lot of conspiracy and pseudoscience is trending on hive because a small group of people with high stake is voting them to trending. Trouble is, trending is our outward facing landing page. It matters how it looks and it portrays our image to a new comer. So your discussion of scientific facts are refreshing.

The reason for this from what I have observed so far is, people are not willing to accept that an expert in a specific field is supposed to know more than them. No one needs to have knowledge in every field. So a lot of people giving out ""medical information"" without really understanding in depth what they are saying.
You know that saying in bengali "অল্প বিদ্যা ভয়ংকর" That's exactly what's happening here. They are seemingly approaching with logic, but because their basic understanding of the topic has huge gaps, their logic is often flawed. And when a flawed logic arises from lack of knowledge and in depth understanding of the concept, it's quite difficult no matter how much you try and debunk the pseudoscience.
