Smells like our shill is gov.
Quoting: sos You know, it's interesting how these threads have played out over the past year.
In the beginning, everyone involved was frantically searching for info and posting any scrap they could find, it was an all hands on deck effort. Back then we were racking up hundreds of pages a day, it really was something else.
As time dragged on, those who contributed actual data gathering whittled down, even I dropped from those ranks for the most part and receded into mainly commentary and comic relief.
Fast forward to today, I think the only ones between here and CC's thread that are posting actual carefully sourced info are you SOS, "George", and Guythu.
Guythu has always been a fairly neutral poster, I don't think anyone would claim otherwise. Always kept his personal opinions to himself, though I might guess politically he's center-left ideologically.
What I really don't get is... unless I'm mixing up several AC posters together, "George" is politically on the right side of the isle, if not exactly conformist... closer to your territory, and mine.
But everyone calls him a shill, basically because he was an early adopter of the vaccines.
I was skeptical at first, I wasn't a fan of vaccines before all this. Not necessarily and anti-vaxxer, I just thought maybe kids should get 5 vaccines like when I was a kid instead of 35 or whatever they get now, I mean shit I never heard of anyone dying of disease growing up.
Then I saw the actual data, and it showed they work. Data too hard to fake. So I got on board. I was fortunate to know many in law enforcement and the medical field who got it early and had good outcomes.
Nobody calls me a shill though, even as I support the vaccines to the same extent as "George".
Now maybe that's just because you know me and I don't hide in the shadows. Perhaps you think the same of me and just don't say it.
But I still can't compute the fact that Trump supports the vaccines as much as I do, as much as "George" does, but you don't call him a shill?
And you were down with overturning the election to put him back in power?
