That is what happens when doctors and scientists play politics. A minority of them actively supported the agenda through disinformation, but the vast majority of them sat quietly and offered no pushback - presumably out of fear for being blacklisted. I remember one testifying before Congress that he knew there were clear indications pointing to gain of function tampering, but said nothing because it might influence the upcoming election... Any attempt to garner sympathy from the public, who as a result were coerced into deciding between taking an experimental drug or being fired, will be fruitless.
