People are trying to censor research findings, like heterogeneity (Gomes) and strength of T-cell response - because they might support a "right wing" agenda.

Wow. Team Reality isn't just Team MAGA. It includes plenty of liberals/moderates who dislike Trump - but like data.

A *significant fraction* of the people I interact with on Team Reality - myself included - did not vote for Trump in 2016. To characterize people trying to advance scientifically-backed explanations of reality as all MAGA conspiracy theorists is profoundly incorrect.

The irony here is that what I have observed in this fraction of reasonable open-minded people is that, if anything, the open politicization of COVID science and data, and the incessant clamoring for more lockdowns, is driving more liberals/moderates to the GOP platform.

Final thing - you want to know what "misinformation" is? Public health officials and blue-check doctors on twitter openly LYING about Texas hospitalization trends, saying they're "flattening" or "plateauing" when in fact they've been in a sustained/significant decline for weeks.

Final final thing, pointed out by actual scientists I respect - Team Apocalypse is *profoundly* cautious about research that suggests good news (heterogeneity / T cells) - but all too *eager* to flail about unsupported theories (reinfection! kids spread!) later proved false.
