None of this is true. Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, fenbendazole, are cheap generic antiparasitic drugs, which the wellness influencer grifters buy in bulk, repackage with their own label, and sell with $1,600 telehealth visits. They care only about their luxury homes and cars, they despise humanity
