It’s hilarious to me to watch the counter-culture heroes of my youth turn into establishment apologists. I suspect it’s the “anything for attention” syndrome.

No, it's the "the counter culture grew up and became the establishment" syndrome. That's how one can seem to have switched camps without changing one's values at all.

And exactly how big does the gap need to be before they stop being comparable? We can compare 99% effective vaccines and 98% effective vaccines, surely? so a 1% spread is ok... but a 10% spread and now we're in "no parallel" territory?

The vaccine is clearly not 98% effective. It never was.
