If you think about how the modern internet has enabled conspiracy theories to flourish, and then add to that all of these mysterious deaths, we'd have conspiracy theories on a level that's hard to imagine.
On the original statement, that "the internet is obviously more important than penicillin by many orders of magnitude", I'd agree if taken perfectly literally, but that's like saying antibiotics are more important than ethernet, only obviously true because you'd use substitutes.
