Money was not central to Wade's article. Reading this response, it's off to a bad start by calling Wade's article a "conspiracy theory". At no point does it allege any group conspired to do anything. That's not just a semantic quibble - a big part of why conspiracy theories are easy to dismiss is that it's difficult for groups of people to keep a secret and unlikely that there would be some shared malicious intent among multiple parties.

It makes a far point that it was unfair of Wade to call the letter "an opinion piece", but it's a minor point. I'm not impressed by how much this response complains about Wade making ad hominem attacks while having no restraint whatsoever on doing the same. Then it goes deep into the biology arguments, which I'm not competent to assess. But I'm also not inclined to take the word of "experts" who insisted it wasn't airborne, that masks don't work, and have on multiple occasions been caught telling manipulative lies hoping to steer people's behavior rather than trusting them with an honest answer.
