In the article they talk about four researchers that may have trouble getting a grant due to the changed political environment. Seven million people are confirmed to have died from COVID, and the excess worldwide mortality since the beginning of the pandemic is 27 million. Both of these numbers are larger than the number of Jews that died in the Holocaust. These are stakes as high as any single event in human history. Given the danger we're talking about, whether or not a few professors get a grant and have a good career is simply not even worth discussing. The fact that it is even discussed shows that the priorities of the virology community are wildly misplaced.
