  Well, don’t always attribute to conspiracy that can be readily explained by decenttalized human motivation. I remember reading books by Serge Lang in my mathematics Ph D courses at NYU. (He had an idiosyncratic approach to complex numbers, entirely basing it on Taylor series and deriving everything that way.) That same person got heavily involved in debunking or challenging certain mathematical analyses (look at his wikipedia page). Most notable was his denialism of the connection between AIDS and HIV. His arguments mirror much of what is said about coronavirus and vaccine denialists and the Google Books from early 1990s features the same Dr Fauci responding in much the same way about that pandemic. There is nothing new under the sun. Look at the Anti Mask League of San Francisco during the 1918 Flu pandemic. Same arguments. There are many books like this, as well as people who are fed up with chemotherapy and publish alternative cancer cures, and so forth. You don’t need George Soros to fund BLM protests and you don’t need a conspiracy to have these people publish either: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Peter-Duesberg/publication/261948355_Inventing_the_AIDS_Virus/links/5724a6bd08aef9c00b846323/Inventing-the-AIDS-Virus.pdf?origin=publication_detail https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Peter-Duesberg/publicat... Same goes for people who challenge claims made for macroevolution, etc.
