Never said that, only that mass-manufactured stuff widely used for decades probably is safe or it should have been banned long ago.

No argument here.

Not really strong opinions but nagging and repeating things you've already posted without a word of explanation. Also, you stated as a fact that homeopathic drugs are of low quality without any sources or examples, it's the first time I'm hearing about this, why should I believe it if this kind of incidents aren't commonly reported afaik? At least dragonwriter was able to provide some example.

Nothing, but others may. You say it's a sham industry designed to part fools from their money, I know that there are people who religiously believe in this stuff, therefore there may be vendors who believe it too, somebody may know such vendors and then how does it make you look to them? And it's these people you need to convince, I have never used, produced, distributed or recommended homeopathic drugs and very likely never will.
I linked to a whole list of people that died or suffered via trusting alternative medicine. Anyone wanting further info can check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy
Honestly though one shouldn't need to fully explain that homeopathy isn't real in the same fashion as its usually not required to explain why witchcraft, literal magic, young earth creationism, or voodoo isn't real.
I'm not trying to convince anyone silly enough to believe, I'm trying to discourage people from promoting it as benign.
Homeopathy is without exception useless nonsense. for example Oscillococcinum is duck offal diluted. The logic behind its operation doesn't even make sense in homeopathy land. Its the approximate equivalent of bad sci fi wherein having made up some imaginary laws of physics the author can't even stick to them properly.
I honestly don't know what algorithm you use to assess credibility. You suggest that you are put off by strong opinions but reassured by hearing about things on TV. You try to ascribe positive motives to modern day patent medicine scammers but distrust the motives of people angered such deceit.
Consider refining your judgment.
