    While not exactly misinformation, your comment is presented in the same way as most fearmongering headlines.

    Ionizing radiation causes cancer, It Is Known; it’s why there’s a limit on how many xray scans you can get in a year, and why they don’t give out a lot of types of scans without there being a clear benefit over the risk, which is what all of medicine is doing, because there’s always risk.

    The way the comment is written is something that will stick in someone’s head as “CT scans are dangerous, I shouldn’t get one” which is where you cross into the territory of people downvoting.
