You speak as if there is just one entity making these things. There isn’t, there are hundreds of labs all over the world working on this. If one of them comes out with a treatment alternative like this it may gain some traction but if they

Dude... if you just kept reading it’s clear they aren’t claiming they were the only ones, but Jews by far were the primary targets. Nobody is denying other shit happened though.
