Meanwhile across the Atlantic, far right group America's Frontline Doctors is raking in money by selling ivermectin to people who believe their anti-vax nonsense.
Many say they never received their orders or even got the initial phone consultation they paid for.
While they wait for unapproved medicines that never arrive and consultations that never happen, some people taken in by AFD are getting seriously ill with covid, or resorting to taking ivermectin pills intended as deworming tablets for livestock. With sometimes dire consequences.
Another scam is selling bogus legal aid to people who refuse to accept mask and vaccine mandates at work.
Again, many never receive the legal support they paid for, and if they do it's often completely useless.
Some are in danger of losing their livelihoods because of this con.
Despite the cosy name, America's Frontline Doctors is an extremist group, whose founder was arrested for taking part in the US Capitol riots.
Closer to home, @hartgroup_org member @realjoelsmalley worked with them, and other HART members frequently share their anti-vax content.

HART, their members and related groups have spent all year fighting to block teenagers from being able to get vaccinated, from coming up with ways to put kids and parents off getting vaccinated to threatening schools, councils and medical authorities with legal action.
When Oxford Uni started vaccine trials for children in February, HART members claimed "after this it may be too late for humanity", and suggested "holding to account people trialing it", attacking the ethics committee that authorised it, and "indicting the named investigator"!
By May HART was coordinating with other groups to "thwart the children's jab rollout". Val Fraser sent a wild message to other groups calling it "the biggest existential threat to humanity" and ranting about the "abominable horror" of "experimental medical procedures" in schools.
One of HART's central claims is that vaccination drove surges in deaths around the world. But looking at data for England broken down by age and region, it's clear there's absolutely no correlation (let alone causation) between them.
Merely a coincidence in timing.
Here's London (top) and North West (bottom) by age, for example.
Vaccinations in over 60s are spread over several weeks, and jabs in each group peak at the same time in both regions.
But deaths peak simultaneously in all over 60s, and peak in the North West a week after London.
It's even clearer if you look at individual age groups. While vaccination in the over 80s just happens to coincide with deaths, there's no lag. And in every other age group deaths rise and peak BEFORE vaccination.
Here's the South East, for example. Again, no consistent pattern.
Unsurprisingly many people signing the "Together Declaration" against covid passes are HART members with bizarre views on the subject.
Liz Evans, for example, keeps making crazy claims that vaccination causes surges in deaths all over the world which governments blame on covid.
Joel Smalley has spent months ranting and raving, drawing random lines on graphs, trying to convince everyone that covid vaccines are somehow responsible for vast numbers of deaths.
He even claimed death rates in US children were at least 100 times higher than they really were!
Anna de Buisseret describes herself as a "trained assassin", and keeps going off on wild rants about nurses being hanged for war crimes, people supposedly clamouring for her to launch Nuremberg Trials, and nutty conspiracy theories involving Bill Gates and the World Bank.
That's out of an official attendance of about 75,000 people (including ticket holders and staff).
But with chaotic scenes outside the stadium and some "fans" breaking through security, the total number in or around Wembley stadium will have been higher.
Still, if we take those figures at face value, up to 3% of people attending the game had covid at the time, and another 4.5% caught it around the time of the match.
Community prevalence was 1% - 1.4% in the weeks before and after the game, according to the ONS Infection Survey.
HART's leaked chat logs show members falsely claimed that vaccines caused "carnage", talked about hanging nurses, suggested using unfounded concerns over fertility to put people off vaccination, and discussed ridiculous theories about 5G and magnetism.
HART's co-founder believes the old lie that childhood vaccines cause autism, and profits from "curing" it with homeopathy. Members shared content from anti-vax and extremist groups, including nonsense like covid doesn't exist and vaccines are bioweapons.
When Captain Tom died, HART's founder joked about him leaving his money to Lockdown Sceptics, and members quibbled over whether he had covid, talked about "the Tom agenda" being weaponised, and claimed a global conspiracy to cover up his vaccine status!
When national treasure Captain Sir Tom Moore died from pneumonia, @hartgroup_org members asked whether his death was vaccine related, suggested there was a cover up, joked about him leaving his money to Lockdown Sceptics, and described him as "a control mechanism".
When news first broke that Sir Tom was in hospital with pneumonia and covid, HART members questioned the diagnosis, said his illness was "expected", described him as being "used as a control mechanism", and tried to link his condition to covid vaccines.
When he died the next day, HART founder Narice Bernard joked that "he left all his money to Lockdown Sceptics".
Patrick Fagan (ex Cambridge Analytica) commented "oh God, prepare for hysteria to dial up to 11".
