Who are you? Which state? What school are you writing about? You need to provide your reader with genuine specifics. It's the stuff of writing and reporting. That's what makes it real (and relevant). Otherwise, it's all hypothetical (which is the kind of material the gov't agents produce). To stand out and really be real, you have to reveal yourself.
I can't risk my livelihood by revealing all of that information. I used to write about covid under my own name, and it prevented me from getting hired at another school since the admin looked me up and saw my views against masks and against lockdowns were public. They couldn't take on that "liability." In our current political climate, I have to write anonymously. Furthermore, journalist protect sources by withholding a person's identity all the time when they tell their stories. I'm just protecting myself as I write about these issues. That's all.
Well, once upon a time I did a master's degree in journalism and wrote for a few small-time rags in a couple of states (mostly in arts and entertainment). Just passin' long what my journey-lism perfessor taught me, ya know!

Dear Joe F., do you work for big pharma? Who are you? Where do you live? Who is your employer?
Get it?
