@booboo said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:
@Tim Not sure this qualifies for this thread as despite being a clickbait sensationalist story it's actually the sort of stuff news outlet should be doing: exposing the cons and fraudsters.
I thought "Conspiracy" theories as below:
@booboo said in Your favourite conspiracy theories:
Wasn't sure where to put this ...
- Conspiracy Theories
- Sir Colin's Cancer
- Good Reads
- somewhere else ...
But here it is
... stories and stuff...
Maybe we should have a Woo thread so we can point and laugh at the weirdos.
Seems both Stuff and the Herald have TKG in their sights. Good on them.
Good call, can we do that?

This nutter got fined $30000 in court costs for her cancer scam, when she was younger she claimed to have had extensive heart surgery and then posted photos of herself in a bikini. She laid low for a while after a few people asked where her scars were, open heart surgery tends to leave a mark after all.

You'd think she'd have learned after twice being outed as a fraud but she's at it again

Yea I guess you try whatever you can...some changes can prolong your life in some people...I know of a couple of examples where 2-3 month left to live predictions went on 2 10 years and one had weeks to live went on for another 3 years.

@Paekakboyz sad for her kid, god knows sort of batshit stuff she's telling/feeding it. The heart stuff came out on some forum she went on trolling for sympathy, you're right she's in a weird online universe she's created for herself.

@Donsteppa said in Woo:
The usual woo merchants complain that there's "no cure for (all 100+ typs of) cancer". Then when a vaccine comes along that can help prevent some of them...
Winger and others have claimed Gardisal doesn't prevent cancer, which is true. It prevents hpv which can lead to various cancers .
It's not helped by these people

@jegga hat's the central tenet of woo: coincidence, correlation, and causality all start with "c", therefore they're the same thing.
Fucking tragic, but millions of doses versus one story. That's not how evidence works. Had that fight with a silly, superior-sounding bitch on twitter months ago. She was too distressed to provide facts

@jegga science is grossly inconvenient for these sorts of things. Even a bit of basic toxicology might have helped, or a quick look at the heart itself.
I think the coroner said it was likely her heart, its rare for someone so young to die in their sleep and apparently that's what it usually is.
She's unfortunately become famous since her death amongst the pro disease loons including our resident one.
