How often is it that six surgeon generals work together to address an issue that doesn't matter?

The letter documents numerous areas of concern. You haven't addressed any of those, only flippantly responded.

while you're right, anyone who is vaccine hesitant probably isn't going to be influenced by this or even see reporting on this sadly

This isn’t about converting the already brain-wormed, it’s about letting those who don’t want brain worms know that a brain worm is currently deciding how brain worms are researched and regulated.

So the point is to convince people already in the in-group to remain in the in-group?

That doesn't seem to bring significant clairity as to why this matters.

If your definition of the “in-group” is “people who might be open to heeding the warnings of 1/3rd of all living US Surgeons-General on topics of their health” then yeah, I can see why that might not clarify anything for you.
