I agree that this is being done. How does this make my crisicism go away?

It doesnt, you were spot on. The messaging of this comic is ambiguous on whether it thinks big pharma is a conspiracy or not.

Alright, let me ask you both: isn't expecting a message like "everything worm-man says is wrong" or "everything worm-man opposes is good, actually" a little too simplistic? Don't we want a little nuance, even in our absurdist, 2-panel comic strips? I feel like I shouldn't have to spell out that the worm-man is capable of mixing fact and fiction to muddy the waters, but here we are.

I hear you from the realism perspective, but this is (hopefully) satire. Either you go all in with satire, or you don't - you can't half-foot a message when your audience is relatively unknown

Because you're completely missing how fascists use elements of truth to drive you straight into right wing authoritarianism.
