The general trend on this forum was that anything queationing the official narrative on issues related to COVID was heavily downvoted, even if you just quoted conflicting research. Thus it was not only “specific individuals”.

Funnily enough, I am first upvoted, then downvoted to -1 for a comment that people were downvoted for saying certain things. Nobody has any counter-argument but they just downvote because they disagree. Kind of proves the point.
