Netizens Reactions

As soon as she tweeted, netizens started reacting to the post. A user wrote, “If something goes wrong for them, they can afford the bestest treatment. Who knows even Govt would also come forward to help them. But WE WILL DIE HELPLESSLY. That’s it.” “Correct! Spreading pseudoscience is dangerous regardless of the good intentions,” another said. 

A comment read, “While it is irresponsible for influencers prescribe medications, it’s equally foolish to follow their advice without consulting a professional/doing research.” “Forget about responsibility, that celeb is playing victim card in this context also,” another user said.

One option is to nebulize with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and distilled water. Works like magic. Avoid unnecessary use of (tablet emoji). She then put a hashtag #alternativemedicine.”
