For all of those items cited the context and purpose of the claim matter, and when those are considered the reactions were reasonable, albeit with varying touches of the knee-jerkiness defensiveness that can happen in response to some clearly naive person jumping to a totally unsupported conclusion and want to make life alter choices about it simply because they like the outcome. I.e. For Covid origins back in the day there wasn't a lot of info available to make any conclusions, but a lot of people acted like if the thing had leaked out of a lab we could just blame china and somehow that would mean we could go back to normal and also absolve the trump admin of any mismanaged response. Then with vaccines, they've always been clearly and obviously a net benefit versus remaining unvaxxed yet antivaxxers grab on to any report of rare or mild side effects and act like it's worse than the virus. And they question all the studies that show the vaccine is okay, yet trust poor trash studies on 46 people about horse dewormer. It's truly amazing to watch this stuff happen in real time, the knots people will contort themselves into, and the myopic analysis they'll swallow just because they wish something something was true.
