It's entirely possible that such a disproportionate number of persons is more likely to access links about vaccines and such politics than what you searched for that the machine, not the man, has elected to favor those without having any real political motive.

Covid side effects -> covid vaccine side effects Best burgers -> McDonald's Best coffee -> Starbucks Best way to sort a list -> bubble sort
