I lost my boyfriend to cancer 'conspiracy theories’

The opposite can be just as dangerous * . "Medlife Crisis" has an [informative video][1] that explains some of what can happen.

* Edit: I shouldn't have equated the dangers here. This was a bad take. I still believe there are good bits of info provided in the video, but the relevance to this thread is less than I considered and I should have thought more about what I was sharing.

Edit 2: I didn't mean to link to a specific timestamp of the video in the original link. That has been removed.

I clicked on his COVID-19 video[1] on a whim and while I have not watched it yet, my god is the comment section alarming. Is the YouTube comment section always like this when it comes to this topic?

Yes that seems to be typical. YouTube comment sections tend to be of poorer quality when the topic is popular or if the channel has a large enough audience.

Yes. Youtube comment sections are among the lowest quality information sources available on the Internet.

At the population level, chemotherapy increases survival rates and remissions.
