Using that logic, we should ban any sort of echo chamber on reddit. This is assuming echo chambers are hallmarked by misinformation.
People believe random people (anti and pro vaxers alike) on the internet instead of clinicians and scientists. That's the real problem. Trying to ban misinformation is a losing game of whack-a-mole that can easily stifle normal debates and even free speech as a side affect.
In other words, you can't fix stupid.

Yeah pretty much this. Not to mention people spun up by whatever echo-chamber don't just dissappear when the sub gets banned.
