Deflate the Experts?
This pandemic, there are those whose plan it is to cast doubt on the medical experts, certain autocratic rulers and their followers exemplify the mentality. With questions of veracity, it’s always a good idea to look to motive. The corona stats are what they are, go with Google or Johns Hopkins, the Governor of your state may have other motives, which is the key here, motive.
Some guy like Doctor Fauci, what would be his motive to lie to the public, to be selling an agenda? Other people might have reasons to want to discredit the experts for reasons unrelated to science, political expediency.
How many people are killed by the virus is not the same as how many people died during the pandemic. A comparison of general year to year statistics to those of the pandemic makes sense.
Look to motive in this situation, who to believe, the medical people or their detractors, who has an ax to grind?
