Stay safe is something that we said during the Scamdemic. There was no medical emergency for the non-elderly, if you look at Stanfords Global Mortality Rate figures by age group: We already were safe. Except from the scammers who perpetrated the scamdemic on us.

🚨BEWARE OF SCAMMERS. Please do not engage. 🚨 Lately, there’s been a rise in fake accounts on social media—people impersonating me, pretending to be me, or claiming they have direct contact with me. Some of these scams are becoming more elaborate, and they’re even using AI to create fake videos that make it look like I’m saying things I never have. The AI voice is a giveaway but they will only get better. I will never personally reach out to anyone on social media. I don’t send private messages, I don’t ask to be added as a friend, and under no circumstances would I ever ask for money or favours. If you see anything like this, it is 100% a scam. Please don’t engage with these accounts. Don’t respond, don’t click on any links—just block and report them to the platform immediately. The more we report them, the harder it is for these scammers to trick people. Please stay safe online, and look out for each other.
