45. Reminds me of the character

Aug 2021

in the film, Contagion. Throughout a viral pandemic, this one guy claims that forsythia is a preventative and a cure. He gets millions of followers on social media. He claims that the CDC and health system are withholding the truth from the public. He does a live video online where he acts very sick and then drinks a concoction supposedly of forsythia.

Next day he goes online to show his followers that he feels better. People fight each other in a pharmacy trying to get forsythia. When a vaccine is produced, he tells people to take forsythia instead.

In the end, he gets arrested for fraud, but his followers post bail for him.

The movie was made before covid, but some parts are incredibly true to life.
