I'm still doing remote work because I'm trying to avoid:
Vascular damage
Early-onset dementia
Immune system disregulation
Loss of taste/smell
All post-acute sequelae
Early death
And people who lie to my face

You are absolutely correct. Just like the don't draw connections between all the white supremacist mass murders. They are each called a "lone gunman" and no one ever connects their ideologies.
The thing about scientists taking maskless photos is,
If their behavior can be bought/influenced then why couldn't their data be easily adjusted as well? They are not worthy of our trust.
