One corollary to this has to do with shills.

A lot of the shills transferred over from doing mainly political shilling to vaccine shilling.

The problem is...most aren't real scientists.

A great one to me was the user Isakisstherain on Reddit, a shill mainly on conspiracyundone, who tried and failed miserably to act like a researched virologist, and had the nasty habit of calling Johns Hopkins "John Hopkins", which no credible virologist would do.

Another one is the user tuchodi on here, who is an ""engineer" in a research lab", but tries to act like they have a clue about life sciences.

Favorite quote from tuchodi (who basically just attacks sources of information):

"If they have no qualifications then their opinion on the matter doesn't count for anything."

But we're supposed to listen to their opinion on matters that they have no qualifications for. OK
