This mad man is arrested for what everyone else is doing.😂

...for free just like an advertisement everywhere...release him

Not all heroes wear capes! JusticeIsServed

It's naive to call his claims delusional. What's delusional is Trump saying let's inject people with disinfectants and advising people to take hydrochloroquine and remdesevir which aren't proven to work

Shrkeli should be Trump health czar. He needs to be let out of jail to save humanity.

He is actually very intelligent in his industry!

Pharma Bitch

He's a conman needs to do all of his time!!

He messed up by saying cure. They don’t want a cure. They want to crush the dollar and economy.

He wasn’t doing anything for free before was he?

I believe him Wu_Tang_Finance

He can work from prison

Only if he releases the WuTang album!

kek

His NetflixFilm documentary is going to be epic!

This guy did absolutely nothing different than every Pharma company in America. $pfe $ibb $jnj

....does he still have the Wu album?

Lmao what if he could.. how fd up would life be..

Trying to kill him because he can help the people!🧔🏽👽

Can't be more delusional than the President

It's a cold, I'm type 1 diabetic and immunish to it

Douche

Shoulda released him tbh

Thank you!
