1. Homeopathy is probably less harmful than whatever was prescribed as placebo in the past, and whatever would be prescribed in its absence. That is, in many cases it's literally replacing antibiotics in this role. That's makes it a net positive on this point.
2. Putting anything in your body is actively harmful in the sense that you describe. Most foodstuff/most everything contains pretty nasty bacterial strains and any number of contaminants. Anything is potentially allergenic to a proportion of the population.
3. That one homeopath made a mistake is bad, but does not damn the whole industry. We would not judge any other industry on the basis of one bad actor/one mistake.
