sources[edit]

We need more sources than yesterday's BBC article. Why Conspiracy Theorists Think New Suicide Pods are Med Beds (dailydot.com) has some, but also confuses real life hospital beds which are being sold innocently as "medbeds".

Following a Spiritual Path: Recovering From Religion Volume 2 - Elsabe Smit - Google Books is good for the nonsense. 62.6.35.4 (talk) 00:39, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That second link is dead, unfortunately. The archived version isn't usable either (though I suspect that has less to do with the book in question and more to do with Google Books and Internet Archive just not playing well together. BrokenEye3 (talk) 20:33, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Older uses of the word[edit]

As shown in the Wiktionary entry, this word has older usage in science fiction, for a sort of hi-tech bed like in the Star Trek sick bay. Equinox ◑ 19:29, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Truth[edit]

Scientific evidence supports the assertions of many who found healing from medbed use. 207.177.181.196 (talk) 16:07, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Major Accuracy Issues[edit]

This article fails to acknowledge that there is no solid evidence of the existence of "medbeds", or that medbeds are an element of the widely disproven QAnon conspiracy theory. In fact, this page seems to imply they are real, despite the lack of evidence to support this and their clear roots in science fiction.
