"Karen50500740's avi image DOES NOT come up in a Tineyereverse image search.
This is a telltale sign that it's not a real image, but likely generated by a (GAN), or Generative Adversarial Network.
A GAN can generate new photos that look at least superficially authentic.

If you want to see how GANs can generate "fake people," visit thispersondoesnotexist.com. It's eerie.
When reviewing these paid pharma shills, you'll rarely find a match in a reverse image search for their avi.

Lastly, look at the engagement with 10 followers. This is engagement from OTHER pharma shills & bots.
This is what we're up against. We're facing 100's of millions of dollars in social media astroturfing & shilling.
Never let it get to you. These people do not exist.
