In case this needs to be said. Medbeds don't exist. Many of the photos are AI generated and based on MRI machines which larger hospitals use to scan people for things like cancerous tumors, or to plan complex surgeries.

In the past hyperbolic chambers were used to treat polio. No one is hiding this technology.

Want to "do your own research?" wikipedia is OK for this topic.

Do not give someone thousands of dollars if they say you must keep it a secret.

So, I hear about this "medbed" thing and search youTube to find some kind of overview about the scam but none of the results do that. They are just advertisements for medbeds or people who think they are real.

That's bad.

@futurebird it’s ridiculous. How can they not understand that if such a thing existed they’d be advertised everywhere? Can’t watch the local news without ads for the latest greatest prescriptions and a real med bed would be a license to print money.

"How can they not understand that if such a thing existed they’d be advertised everywhere?"

The conspiracy is that it's alien technology, or human technology that no one knows how to replicate and there are only a few thousand beds, so "they" don't want it to be public since it's a limited resource and "they" want to hog it all for themselves.

Which is kind of believable. The part about rich people doing something like that... not the aliens as much.

@futurebird let’s also discuss how absolutely vile and immoral it is that Facebook no longer polices medical misinformation.

Maybe this is helpful?

Donald Trump publishes AI video on medbed conspiracy theory

A video seemingly shows an AI-generated clip of Donald Trump making an apparently bogus announcement about the conspiracy theory claiming all manner of illnesses can be cured by a medical bed

Daily Mirror (www.mirror.co.uk)

@SnowyCA @futurebird pppffttt if it were true the orange toddler wouldn’t look like a canned ham left out in the rain on a hot August weekend.

@futurebird @CatDragon Cixin Liu wrote a short story (turned into a manga) "Taking Care of God". Something exactly like a medbed is important in the story and is called a cradle. Summary: the cradle; e.g. medbed, using technology that the users do not understand but allows them to live 4000 years. I recommend the story, but not the cradle.

I like Sci-Fi, but I people using it to sell stuff based on it, and in some cases, not understanding that "Fi" stands for "fiction" is getting old.

@futurebird @tootbrute @drexer If medbeds were real, Donald Trump would look like his AI avatar in all those flag-and-eagle images.

@futurebird @CatDragon But even so, "they'd" advertise it and then charge half a billion per use, not give it away for a few thousands to the crafty few who found them.

How many times do I need to explain to you that he gave his spot to a terminally ill child. TDS* is real and medbeds won't cure THAT.

*Trump Derangement Syndrome
*This is satire of what I encountered when I tried to bring up this very reasonable point.

@futurebird @tootbrute @drexer The thought of Trump showing compassion to anyone, let alone a terminally ill child, is even less plausible than medbeds.

@epicdemiologist @tootbrute @drexer

A segment of the population simply isn't able to see that this is true at all. Kind of hard to understand but once you understand this suddenly a lot of the other things people are falling for starts to make sense.
