There's some real questions that should be answered, no matter how you lean. The following link was shared to me giving a quick summary of this:

I mean if everything's fine then somebody should be able to explain why this isn't an issue, right?

And there's also the infamous and mostly censored "4am vertical spikes":

I just want an explanation without being censored. These are reasonable questions to have answered, and until they are, I definitely have some doubt in what's being reported.
