Cassia Shakti, a well-known influencer in Estonia, has sparked controversy by encouraging distrust in conventional medicine. This advice comes during a segment of the ETV program ‘Pealtnägija’, which explores the complex boundaries between free speech and the dissemination of potentially dangerous health information. The program questions where authorities should intervene when free expression crosses into the realm of harmful misinformation.

The conversation around Shakti's claims has intensified as more people turn to social media for health advice, often bypassing traditional medical guidelines. This trend can lead to a public health risk, particularly when such influential figures share unverified and potentially dangerous health tips. The episode highlights the ongoing struggle to balance individual freedoms with the responsibility to protect public health and safety.

As the authorities grapple with these issues, the conversation is expanding beyond just Shakti's statements to encompass broader discussions about the role of influencers in society, the accountability of public figures, and the impact of their messages on health behaviors. This case raises critical questions about how societies manage the intersection of free speech and the public’s right to accurate and safe health information.
