They don't deserve more attention.
They need to be ostracized, ignored, marginalized, shamed - in lieu of prosecution. They killed hundreds of thousands of people, much worse than any other killer making the "news" these days.

The genes are not "rewired" but have different phenotypic expression. It's an attention getting statement on his part, but a pretty common thing. The interesting part is the increase in pro-clotting factor which is what folks have been saying recently: there may be some micro-clotting going on.
A the study from the Commonwealth Fund showing that total industry efforts have prevented 18.5 million hospitalizations, saved 3.2 million patient lives, and prevented 120 million COVID infections. This adds up to an estimated over $1 trillion in medical cost savings through the U.S. vaccination program.
Perhaps in hindsight, the gate-keeping function of the 'old media' was overall useful.
It was only those that could mobilize resources that enjoyed regular access to popular media. Most editors and publishers emphasized coherent writing, fact checking and civil behaviour.
Unfortunately, the education system tends not to teach critical thinking skills until university and even then not all university students are exposed to it.
Yes, the "letters to the editor" wasn't literally everything that anyone wanted to post. Having an editor is a good thing, although those not chosen might claim bias/politics/racism/etc. And not always incorrectly.
And, there's no money in critical thinking (generally). Attention getting -> clicks -> advertiser dollars -> profit!
Nowhere in there was a mention of quality.
This is all that same crap, just with the internet to magnify it.

It has become infinitely easier to find âsupportâ for oneâs preexisting belief.
Instead of culling facts/evidence and reaching a conclusion based on those facts/evidence, more and more people seemingly go out searching for anything they believe supports the conclusion they already have reached. Then they demand that those who disagree with that conclusion prove it is not âpossible,â thereby switching the burden of proof in a manner that often is tantamount to demanding that those who disagree prove a negative. Couple all that with the allegations of a large and sinister conspiracy and we indeed have arrived at the crux of the problem.

Predictably, we are seeing statements that the collapse of Damar Hamlin on the field Monday night could be attributable to Covid vaccines.
âIt just really fits in with the narrative that was already circulating that any collapse of a person may be vaccine related, no matter lack of evidence,â said Jack Gregory, health editor of NewsGuard, a company that analyzes misinformation.
In keeping with football jargon, I would react by saying, simply: Câmon, man!
It sounds like you are letting yourself lash out at everyone official who was trying to hold shit together due to anger at your personal situation. And in doing so you are uncritically accepting all the bullshit spewed by anti-government, anti-vax influencers who have absolutely no basis for their assertions.
The anti-government thing has some merit, but it's not because of some great thinker's plan. It's because the leader was an idiot. Trying to contend that the pandemic spread because of some intention (other than laziness or ignorance) is trying to give it more credit than it deserves, by a long shot.
This guy bungled it, and his supporters are trying to make it look like his massive incompetence wasn't the real cause.
