Natural News isn't a major presence on the Fediverse that I've seen. There is a substantial representation (including a dedicated pod) on Diaspora, unfortunately, which continues to post disinformation and propaganda.
(Control is greatly hampered by the lack of a ready pod-level blocking capability on Diaspora, as well as a somewhat stronger "free speech" tradition, one that seems increasingly misplaced.)
That said, knowledge and preparation are helpful.

Facebook bans health and conspiracy site Natural News (2019)
Facebook on Sunday removed the prominent health and conspiracy site Natural News from its platform and banned its incendiary founder from posting content.
In an email to Ars, a spokesperson for Facebook confirmed the removal and said only that it was over “violating our policies against spam.” Under those policies, Facebook “do[es] not allow people to use misleading or inaccurate information to collect likes, followers, or shares.” More specifically, it prohibits sites that “encourage likes, shares, or clicks under false pretenses,” and those that “artificially increase distribution for financial gain,” among other things.

He has been accused of using “pseudoscience to sell his lies”.[5] Adams has described vaccines as “medical child abuse”.[6]
