I wasn't aware of the American Institute for Economic Resources -- so many libertarian think tanks, it's hard to keep up with them all!

From the MJ article:

“The libertarian think tanks involved in this are not pro-worker—they’re trying to remove worker protections,” says Mallory Harris, a Stanford PhD student who is studying how elite groups of contrarian physicians and scientists have spread disinformation during the pandemic. “But they can’t actually say that, so they have to find ways to make it seem like this is a working-class thing. And that’s where truckers come in.”

Thanks for sharing this piece. Most interesting. Now I see why Rand Paul is such a fanboy for the anti-vax truckers.
