“Can you explain to us why this figure quoted from the CDC is a lie and exaggeration?”
Because there is zero basis for it.
Extreme claims need to be validated to be taken seriously.
One does not need to debunk unproven extreme claims. The person making the claim must present their case.
How about you justify the claim.
RE: How about you justify the claim.
The article claims that the data is from the CDC. Some possibilities:
1) The article is lying and it’s not from the CDC
2) The data is from the CDC
If #1, well yes it’s a lie.
If #2, either the CDC is lying/incorrect or the writer misunderstood the CDC data or the CDC data is correct.
Which one do you think is most plausible?
Q. Can you explain why it's a lie and exaggeration?
A. Because it's an exaggeration ("unproven extreme")
