No.  In the United States, it is indeed illegal to make an item for your
own use if it is patented by someone else.  However, it is NOT illegal
to make a copy of a work copyrighted by someone else if it is strictly
for your own non-commercial use.  While you cannot generally make
multiple copies for the purpose of distributing them, there is also an
exception to that prohibition for certain "fair uses".

Who would you trust to provide accurate information about
COVID-19?  Doctors who have studied viruses and treated
patients for years?  Or a TV actor who tweets "cofefe"?
