An "opening salvo" has to be more than just throwing ammunition at your enemies. The "but global pandemic" argument will not be very convincing when they roll out authors that also wanted to eat during the pandemic.
No matter what you consider to be the morally correct outcome here, this seems to have been a very risky way to go about things.
