losing control of it's own monster. The Frankenstein effect.

America’s Frontline Doctors (who should not have medical licenses BTW) were cashing in on the hydroxy craze but it fizzled out of them, so they moved on to trying to cash in on the ivermectin craze, and it worked out SO WELL for them that they couldn't even keep up, and the very patients they were trying to swindle said "screw it, i'll just go to the pet store and buy it".

Weird as crap

So that's how we ended up here.

Ivermectin fans on Facebook, complaining about wait times and high drug prices, got fed up with America’s Frontline Doctors, who sold them conspiracy and the fake cure.

So they went to the feed store, to eat the horse goo, because it's cheaper.
There is one final plot twist.

America’s Frontline Doctors founder Simone Gold was indicted and is awaiting trial... for her role in the Capitol Riot on January 6th.

Out on personal recognizance, she was on the speaker lineup for an antivaxx rally in LA on Saturday.

And with the total tonnage of MAGAt stupidity, there's an endless amount of money to be made.

The MAGAts and their greedy overlords worship one god: money. The orange shithead takes the biggest piece of the pie, naturally, but there's plenty remaining for the residual grifters. Their money is going to run out at some point, and there are going to be many MAGAts without a chair when the music stops.

Then these same anti-everything MAGAts will want government assistance. Too late, MAGAts. Your orange messiah has the lion's share of it, and he's not giving refunds to people he can't really stand in the first place.
