“Please bear in mind, that we have to question all the numbers. Good or bad looking.”
Everything pertaining to COVID has been distorted and lied about for so long (by both pro-vaccine and anti-vaccine factions) that there are no trustworthy numbers any more. None. Just cite whatever statistics you hear that support your argument of the moment, like everyone else.
Since the CDC and the rest of the pro vaxxers woring for the government have been caught over and over in lies, I tend to believe the anti- covid vaxxers.
