In Patients’ crowdfunding campaigns for alternative cancer treatments, published by researchers from Simon Fraser University in The Lancet Oncology (Sci-Hub mirror)
we learn that thanks to Gofundme, 13,000 people have raised $1.4
million to help 200 desperate cancer patients pay for ineffective
homeopathic “treatments.”
A third of these fundraisers were launched by people who explicitly
rejected evidence-based medicine and were seeking money to commit an
especially grisly form of suicide, while enriching scammers who sell
water as medicine.
