Not all posts are designed to convince. A 38 second video will likely not convince a hardened skeptic or even someone who is psychologically unwilling to accept information that indicates they may have willingly injected poison into their body.
Some posts are intended to nudge the skeptical viewer and for the believer it is intended to confirm previously known information.
For those that need nudges, you may find you will have to hint or reveal bits at a time in order for them to warm up to the idea that they may have been wrong. This "nudging" can take months if not years.
In my view. It is better to have the data out their then not at all. Criticizing the OP may not help as much as you may believe. It may only serve to stop someone from posting anything since the hassle may not be worth the effort.
Despite popular belief. This forum works best and has done so in the past as a collection of researchers rather than only a depository of information for those who want to be hand fed.
In my opinion. Filling in the void would have been a more useful approach in this case. Help the OP by finding the study and posting it within the comments. Something called teamwork and collaboration.

We need to do better than this. That's the bottom line.
Operative word being "We".
Glad you agree.
Well yes, we're all in this together. We need to do better for each other's sake.
