I generally treat anything on Reddit as first and foremost motivated by a desire for fake Internet points rather than by a desire to share a real story or have a real conversation. I'd at least expect a reputable journalist to pick up on this story if there really was anything to it.

Regardless of the veracity of the claims in that post, there's not much new here aside from the fact that the distributor generated the content using AI rather than making it up themselves. Quackery and snake oil has always been a thing, and plenty of people have been seriously injured or died from misinformation about food safety or medicine.

The next time someone hesitates to seek professional medical attention for a problem because they got a blessing from the elders at their church and they think God will heal them as soon as they start having more faith, we can start talking about where we can really draw the line between personal responsibility and holding liars liable.
