So originally it was true, but now it's false due to public pressure that forced the Biden admin to change its position.
Oh lets see a valid link that supports the highlighted statement...

People tend to turn to telemedicine when their in person doctors are not helping them. That’s hardly a scam.

Oh Mike. After all this, you still haven't figured out the scam. Bless your heart.

Yeah, those evil doctors only care about money. And the government is looking out for your best interests, the Fauci would never lie to protect his pharma buddies and also, the check's in the mail.

I was able to get mine via telemedicine myself. Very simple and easy. Picked up the prescription at the grocery store pharmacy.
