Oops, this is some misinformation, friend. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rfk-wellness-farms/

Exaggerated claims designed to provoke a reaction, even in humorous contexts like this, make it harder for us to perceive and react to actual dangerous threats that might come our way. And we're definitely going to need to have an accurate and truthful view of the world in the coming days.

It's a good joke, it's a great joke even, but even so, we shouldn't spread misinformation.

I was posting more for the funny reply, rather than to share the original article, but I can put a note in the post body that the pictured quoted article is misinformation.
