It would be very easy to discredit Mullis for his "eccentricity". Just read his Wapo obituary:
"It is true that, despite the title of his memoir, he did not appear unclothed on its dust jacket. But few if any other Nobel winners published anything showing themselves bare-chested with a surfboard tucked under an arm."
"In addition, his apparent enthusiasm for astrology and seeming fondness for such ideas as astral projection and the possibility of abduction by aliens also led his scientific peers to look at him askance."
I don't see how any of that discredits him. That second sentence is so poorly worded, I doubt most people could understand what the reporter was trying to say (if anything).
No doubt an outlet like the Amazon Washington Post wouldn't be on Mullis's side. Of course they would try and use the same smear, ignore and discredit tactics against Mullis that they did against everyone else who questioned the Pandemic Prophecy since the beginning. But "PCR Test Inventor" could have gained a lot of traction.
