Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has come under fire over a new controversial subject he waded into recently. As an outspoken nerd, one of the commenters on his post about COVID-19 has advised him to stick to core blockchain subjects. 
<h2 id="strong-the-vitalik-buterin-controversy-strong">The Vitalik Buterin Controversy</h2> 
The conversation started when the Ethereum innovator posted a photo of him on X with a special face mask. He said while the world needs to do more to clean up indoor air, he gave a thumbs up to a face mask innovator Zhou Liang’s Mask. 
The face mask essentially measures C02 in the immediate surroundings. It is also designed to protect the user from inhaling the bad air in the environment. It also helps detect the COVID-19 variants in atmosphere which to Buterin has continued to evolve. Despite the positive intention from Vitalik Buterin, he got “canceled out” by the community. 
One user asked how this conversation will help the industry as a whole. This statement possibly stemmed from the global disparity and reception of COVID-19 vaccines. However, Vitalik Buterin has a deep interest in COVID-19 amelioration. 
As reported by Coingape, the Ethereum founder once donated up to $1.2 billion in <a href="https://coingape.com/what-happened-to-vitaliks-1-billion-shiba-inu-donation-to-crypto-relief-fund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shiba Inu</a> and other tokens to COVID-19 non-profit in India. This donation comes off as one of the many attempts to find solution to real world problem by Buterin.

He is known to withdraw funds from some of his public addresses to fund research ventures. In the controversial thread on X, he hinted that researchers working to keep COVID-19 strains under do not get enough support. This suggests he might likely consider funding some of these startups or founders. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 Yeah I triple-wield the moderna. 
 Unfortunately it’s not enough because the variants have gotten out of control and we’ve kinda mostly given up on even trying to advance to pan-coronavirus vaccines etc. Lots of people still working hard on this but they get quite little support.
