(this is not a personal attack on you, but merely an attempt to use journalistic tactics (such as taking things out of context) with your words to fit meta-narratives that many news consumers like to read.)
The alleged suspect, AlbertCory, has been associated with internet hacking sites (hackernews.com), which feature many posts from Russian sources. On these hacking sites, AlbertCory has boasted about his knowledge of other 'bad actors', rising suspicions amongst the sources we talked to that he is a member of a Russian operative group.
In a likely recent disinformation campaign, AlbertCory sought to discredit vaccine confidence for Americans by claiming "Fauci has done more damage to "science" than any 100 religious authorities ever did."[1]
AlbertCory has not denied the allegations and declined to comment when we reached out to them.

- AlbertCory 5y agoI don't recall when anyone "reached out" to me for comment.
- FFRefresh 5y agoPerhaps my hypothetical news organization sent you an email minutes before posting the hypothetical article, or we sent an email to an address you were unlikely to use, or we called you at a time we knew you wouldn't pick up? Or maybe it went to spam? All we know is that we did reach out, and you didn't respond, so we standby the statement in the article.
