I mean, that doesn’t change how it’s a confusing and seemingly absurd claim at face value.
It doesn’t read like a joke, it doesn’t in any way imply the link, it just sounds like an absurd statement put out to incite responses. And people clearly all read it this way. If one person read it wrong then sure, you might have a point. If every single person replying read it this way, then it just shows the point was not clearly articulated to begin with.
Even if you had just watched the documentaries about Theranos, I doubt you could have immediately pieced that connection on first read.
