"Unsourced/Unverified Medical Advice"

During this crisis would it be possible to add an alert criteria for "Unsourced/unverified medical advice". I'm seeing a lot of posts that are presenting second-hand, unsourced and unverified medical advice. This is not safe. It's also a warning sign that a post (not limited to DU) is propaganda.

So they said during WWII. Is disseminating the kind of information you mentioned not something like a present day analog to those loose lips?
