What you're doing is called a character attack. I agree with you about zero hedge, but that doesn't change what you're doing. A character attack is usually used when one doesn't have a counterpoint against the point being countered.

"There are financial incentives to sell vaccines" might be a conspiracy theory, but anyone not considering this reality a factor is delusional. I don't think they're selling us snake oil and scaring us into getting it, but there is definitely a motive beyond (but probably including) public health and that is to recoup the cost of development of the vaccine, at the very least.

If you don't make it clear that bullshit is bullshit, if you pretend like it belongs to the realm of sanity, then the debate becomes a farce - some kind of Monty Python absurd comedy.

Sure, but "there are financial incentives to push vaccines" is not bullshit. It is very real, and probably a non negligible factor in how the PR around them is being handled. Not to say public health is not a factor, probably the largest factor, but profit is always a factor as well and in this case would be a very real perverse incentive.

Drowning in details, missing the larger point that actually matters - are you a software engineer?
