        Are these people actually actively working in the in the immunology and virology field, or are they paid schills who used to have real jobs but now work for a “think tank” for 10 times what they were making?

        I think you’ll find that these outliers are no longer actively working and have been corrupted by either money or cognitive decline.

          What antivax “think tanks” are paying 10x a doctor’s salary? And why? There’s not exactly a lot of money in it.

          If money is your motivation, you work for Pharma, not against them.
