The video posted to TikTok showed a woman in a blue cardigan and brown medical scrubs dancing to a remix of Wale's "Lotus Flower Bomb."

On screen, sandwiched between two sparkle emojis, the woman, who said she was a pharmacy technician, had written, "Most common meds I've filled that cause cancer." She then went on to claim medications like hormonal birth control, cholesterol medications and chemotherapy were cancer causing.

So, Savannah Sparks, another TikTok user who goes by “Rx0rcist,” made her own video, part of what would become an ongoing series debunking medical misinformation on the app.

“My name’s Savannah. I’m a doctor at a pharmacy, and I’m about to absolutely wreck your s---,” Sparks says in the video before launching into a fact-check of the pharmacy technician's claims.

But Sparks didn't stop there. She then contacted the woman's supervisor.

Fact-checking is one thing, and OK IMHO, but contacting an employer is absolutely EVIL!

The thing is, she’s done this repeatedly, maliciously destroying people’s lives, and yet she thinks she’s some kind of heroine for doing so.

Even after having a sky photo of her mother’s house posted on 4Chan, she’s still doing this. That tells me she’s doing it for ego stroking. It makes her feel ‘important’.

This Gal is going to end up paying a very high price just to feel popular. Too bad she doesn’t put some of those ‘dirt digging’ skills to work and just become some kind of paid and anonymous investigator.

I’ll bet she was less than popular back during school days, and to this day, she is still trying to ‘prove’ her value, no matter what
all those ‘Mean Girls’ say about her.

I didn’t see where the article said she had accessed a file on Walgreens; where was it?

Don't know about cholesterol medications but it is well known that the other two can cause cancer. Especially if you live in California.

Everything causes cancer in California, including sea air and sand.

The source is NBC. It was meant as a puff piece. Of course they won’t mention she risked her own license and broke federal law.
