I guess I’ll sign up for a free Cloudflare account and see if that’s good enough, but why on earth would somebody be against a chronic illness wiki?!

This is what advocacy looks like I guess. The orange line below is all of the attacks stopped by Cloudflare.
A week later, still under attack.
We need honest advocacy- and it’s really expensive
I’ve been very critical of bad actors among researchers, doctors, advocacy groups, support group moderators, multi-level marketing targeting sick people, etc. All of these things get in the way of a cure and get in the way of better patient outcomes. The current reality is that the scientific literature is full of treatments that don’t actually work. The authors say that their treatment works but they can’t all be right. Because of that, it’s difficult to do any kind of evidence-based medicine if most of the scientific literature is filled with junk.
All of this is difficult to fix because a lot of the bad actors will fight you.
I have Facebook DMs of somebody threatening me with physical violence because of what I said about a MLM scheme.
Does anybody have ideas? Sick people deserve a cure. Should we just raise lots of money into an honest advocacy venture?
It’s July 10. Still under attack. Sigh.
