Appreciate your work, thank you. I think many would say, yes Gorski is very much a shill. He is also aligned and used with the cult of a particular group of ‘skeptics’ (Skeptic.con, skeptical raptor, Respectfulinsolence etc) that like to recruit the average Joe, using political or belief system (atheist ‘I’m for science’ trope, whichever works. It’s like creating a Manchurian candidate for corporate and certain ‘intelligence’ groups. Repeated rhetoric: “Anti-vaxxer”, “has it a large double blind large RCT”, “correlation is not causation”, “rare”, “everything has side effects”, “it’s just a preprint”, “they don’t believe in climate change”, “they are not a reliable source of information” conspiracy's theory, various razor quotes, ad hominem attacks, cherry picking, cult, (the last three being quite apt for them)….etc etc. You might even earn a place in their ‘RationalWiki’, while they are also encouraged to change Wikipedia. The same rhetoric you can see used during Covid in the press, by certain government contacts, by other shills and groups (Mutton etc)….
