Even in the Bible there are examples of doctors doing their jobs and medicine being used to heal.
Yes, using prayer and faith alone? That's literally the point. The "doctors" are false teachers who poison with chemicals.
And in the present day, people praying their hearts out and not being healed.
Almost all of them are not praying faithfully then. Or maybe more faithful people are praying for them to stay sick? My church does this regularly.
But, it is true that this is not always enough. God may decide that even his faithful should die/suffer, and if so, that's what happens. Prayer is still the only medicine that can work, admittedly it doesn't always.
Why does this fruit (and IVM) not count as medicine? You’re just picking and choosing your favorite treatments arbitrarily, “this is legitimate but this isn’t, because I say so.”
also, the prophet Jeremiah was a satanist?
And if that’s your takeaway from Matthew then you missed the entire point of what Jesus was saying. “Why do you hang around with sinners?” “healthy people don’t need a doctor.” (but the sick do, that’s implied)

Read up. And don’t insult people who are already suffering by implying that they’re not trying hard enough, or aren’t faithful enough.
2 Kings 20:7 Healing by means of prayer (and ritual use of fruit, which is not chemical, and often contains Iveromectin)
Revelation 22:2 Healing by means of prayer (and fruit again)
Jeremiah 8:22 A satanist looks for a doctor in his folly.
Matthew 9:12 Literally says there is no need for doctors
