The person you're replying to is suggesting that everyone who's "interested and want to find out the truth" here should stop and re-evaluate what utility that gets them, vs what disutility that information-seeking gets the people involved.
To put this another way: the paparazzi that chased Princess Diana to her death, did so because there was demand for tabloid journalism.
Because it’s just gawking curiosity, not intellectual curiosity - the latter being what the site is ostensibly about

The people that invested in this affair that doesn't concern them? They need a new hobby. Maybe volunteering at their local vax site for a few weeks could do some actual good instead of trying to play detective just to feel good about themselves pretending they are contributing.
