Of course Alex Berenson understands this perfectly well.
He's among the utterly despicable group pushing various forms of covid denial for the benefit boosting their standing in their tribe. Whether it's for $-for-clicks or political capital or just to make themselves feel good, it's pathetic and terrible.
Speaking directly to the people doing this on HN (including in this very thread): you're going to have to go to the end of your life knowing that when things were bad, you made them worse, and got people killed who didn't have to die like that. Do you really want the biggest contribution of your life on the world to be bad one, and for petty, pathetic reasons? Really, think about it. Do you want your life to have been about fooling people about the risks of covid, covid vaccines, and the general value of science? You don't have to live a sad, pathetic, less-than-meaningless life.
If things aren't good, go out there and contribute rather than just tear things down.
