I linked to a PDF, not the whole site. Let's focus on the information in that document. Thanks.

My agenda is, I don't like it when healthy young people develop debilitating heart problems, and I hope to avoid that as much as possible. Were you hoping for something more than that?

And let's please stop with the account age shaming. There are reasons why people who want to keep posting to HN have to create new accounts sometimes, but it's against the rules to discuss it, so let's drop that and talk about the information in the document.

So you’re pro-vaccine (COVID and otherwise) but just concerned about the myocarditis signal seen with the mRNA vaccines?

There was no “shaming” - just an observation and a question... and I think it’s a reasonable question. There’re plenty of examples of social media sites being used to spread propaganda of many types in recent years; no reason HN should be immune. Being alert to such things is important, and honestly a new account with a lots of activity pursuing a possible agenda is an obvious red flag.

Cherry-picking which piece of propaganda or disinformation to paste from a propaganda and disinformation-pushing group doesn't make the propaganda/disinformation less biased

Begging the question. It remains to be seen if the document I linked even is a piece of propaganda or disinformation. Being correct would be adequate defense against those accusations, wouldn't it?
