Influencer opinions are not healthcare. Treating them as such puts lives at risk. A heartbreaking story of what happens when misinformation replaces evidence and expertise:

@bmj.com has issued an expression of concern for a paper claiming stem cell therapy can reduce the risk of heart failure. The move comes after sleuths and scientists critiqued the “complete mismatch” between the study data and the article itself.
