What you typed in the above (bold), is probably one reason. Can't have some site with actual facts subduing the level of panic. In their twisted demented mines there must be panic, chaos, anarchy!

I can think of one or two government lackys from a few countries, that have hacked into websites in the past, just to stir things up and confuse people. One country has been spamming the hell out of this website recently with multiple spams in the Health Anxiety forum.
