And just to let you know how prevalent that says you know two thirds of the vaccine misinformation come from twelve people amazing right and so and we have this stuff where people if they hear something often enough but when these people have bought and content creators and they're making millions. I think one of them. He's out near my old. Stomping ground nashville. He's declared his net. Worth is over one hundred million dollars on some tax form or something. What and so.
