Attorneys from Siri & Glimstad — a New York firm that has done millions of dollars of legal work for one of the nation’s foremost anti-vaccination groups — are co-counsel in a case against the Durham County Sheriff’s Office.

There's no way it isn't organized....

Smallish newspaper...different, but related covid articles bring in tons of non-regular posters to the page and they are all ant-vaccine, anti-maskers. Each article seems to bring in a new set of posters.
