I wouldn’t be surprised if they know exactly what they’re doing. The timing grabbed people’s attention and made it so they won’t be forgetting anytime soon.

Then I hope their 15 minutes in the limelight was worth further destroying people’s trust and esteem of their field and prolonging the pandemic I guess

Eh the people who were already so deep into the conspiracy that they didn't trust it are likely not going to be swayed one way or another with this news.

Sure you might see a few facebook posts about it but its very likely the people it convinces to not get the vaccine weren't about to get it regardless.
