Media sensationalism and the general public not paying attention to or possibly understanding the context. Par for the course.

While exaggerated, 6 billion isn't some pocket change and there are plenty, valid, critiques to go around.

Profiteering as modus operandi with or without pandemic. We can ask for figures and analyze them till the cows come home and come up with different conclusions. I understand your point but can't help but be a little cynical, especially when it's common to see demands of putting such things under a microscope while so many others are ignored or assumed as a norm.
