Many of us have seen the lies on Wikipedia regarding MMS. Well, now we have further evidence of Wikipedia lies.
Here's my local news report on the article:

If you have a question about your health, do you use Wikipedia?

The crowd-sourcing online encyclopedia is a popular tool for some students and others to find a quick answer, but it may be a destination to avoid for health information.

A study published in The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association tested the reliability of the crowd-sourced entries on Wikipedia.

Researchers looked at the 10 most costly medical conditions in the country – like lung cancer, back pain, and osteoarthritis.

They found the Wikipedia entries contradict medical research for peer-reviewed journals about 90 percent of the time – information on nine out of 10 entries had errors.

But it’s not just people at home using it – the study found that 47 to 70 percent of physicians and medical students use it as a reference.

The researchers conclude that caution should be exercised when using websites such as Wikipedia for any medical questuh on traject

Wikipedia is an effective, low cost disinformation tool. I don't use it at all. The 'errors' are not errors, they are lies.

Probably best not to use wikipedia for anything other than entertainment although the hard sciences like chemistry and biology are generally ok. Any topics with vested interests like politics and big pharma are not useful.

The WHO recently redefined herd-immunity to mean a population protected by vaccines, so that pretty much sums up the sorry state of wikipedia health information.

The foundation of atheism and secularity is based on scientism, which is the most dangerous religion because people are not aware they believe in various sciences that are believed to aid humanity.
Belief in science = scientism. Practicing science is something entirely different.
Evolutionism, BigBangism, Democratism, Historyism, Journalism, Virologyism etc. All blind faith.
The secular masses looking down on traditional religion, or spirituality, on basis of not being conscious of ones own participation in the world wide church of scientism.

This is why it's almost impossible to explain to people corona is fake. People BELIEVE they are NOT religious about anything!

Wikipedia is open info: you can add and change info. I also did that on the topic censuur of wikipedia nl. I mentioned as example that the news from Mexico and Bolivia is being censored. ;)
