That journey of "fringe hypothesis" to "actual fact" doesn't start out on right-wing Facebook groups, nor has it ever. There are more efficient channels for this. Make a paper, submit it for review, tell the press maybe. But social media can't play a part in establishing the truths we hold for granted, lest we want to be ruled by absolute buffoons that would make vaccines and paracetamol illegal on pseudo-scientific grounds.
