I thought the chart halfway down was rather interesting with a poll of the hospitalization rates of the China virus. Even among those that claim to be Republicans 28% believe that half of Covid patients have to go in to hospital.
Super-rough calculations, what I'm essentially getting from this is 100 MILLION people in the US think that the mere act of getting WuFlu means you are 50/50 to go in the hospital. It's no wonder we are so screwed. Sorry guys, all the virus edicts are here to stay.
Oh yeah, and there is a shit ton of typical as you'd expect partisan propaganda in the article. I could barely stand the read the actual words.
It's also written by Herr Goebbels, but it's got a lot more data in it. It doesn't appear that the data is all that manipulated, but instead they just show data that indicates 2+2=4 and then tell you 2+2=5.
Covid’s Partisan Errors
Republicans tend to underestimate Covid risks — and Democrats tend to exaggerate them.
Then the chart shows that it is actually "Republicans tend to exaggerate Covid risks -- and Democrats tend to wildly exaggerate them" but they can't actually state Democrats are more incorrect.
There is so much incorrect information in the article, I'm not even going to list them all. Absurd to see NYT play dumb about why liberals (their primary audience) might be misinformed and overreacting, when the MSM + gov has spent the last year and a half endlessly hyping COVID.
When you see that the CDC admitted months ago that their Covid death numbers were off by the tiny margin of just 96%, how can anyone still worry about Covid unless from shear ignorance or to satisfy some agenda.
Incomplete and out of order but you get the idea. Covid is just the latest in an endless series of MSM+gov fear topics to keep the weak-minded scared and obedient. Notice how none of these were really that big of a deal or were complete hoaxes?

Covid variants <--------------------------------- You are here
Damn I feel old being that I remember most of these.
I hate how articles like these emphasize things. They never make statements of actual data itself unless they can cherry pick something bad. They just use bad adjectives instead, something like "an absurd amount of people die every year from the meth epidemic.' What does that even mean, 1-in-10 or 1-in-10 million? My friends would tell you how much I harp on about "everything is a matter of perspective," but it's true. Most people seem to think it's crazy to think like that and would rather prefer to be told how horrible or not a data set is. Hence, where we are today.
What I found a bit crazy is how bold they've gotten at still presenting real data. They show it right there on the page--I'm supposed to believe both that "Republicans underestimate Covid" and that 51% of Republicans think that you have > 20% chance of going in hospital if you get Covid, when the actual range is 1%-5%. These two things can't possibly be true at the same time, but instead of questioning, most just respond with "baaaaa."
Oh, and you forgot the Nuclear War with North Korea. I'm pretty sure I was supposed to have planned my funeral for that one too.
The crack babies grew up and became the weird retards you see around you.
Overpopulation has to do with the effect of a species on the ecosystems around it, and considering human activity of all kinds is of a massive and far-reaching scale, yeah, it doesn't matter if you can shove all of a population in one little place, you could say the same thing about all those species you ree that need "culls" because "starvation". Well, tell UNICEF to start culling instead of feeding. Why should other species suffer because human cunts and dicks are out of control in Asia and Africa? Here's to the vaccine sterlizing 2/3 of the lot of them.
This one's the most controversial, but I suspect it's not such a coincidence that the progressives demanding we normalise a psychosis-inducing drug are acting rather psychotic.
Thermonuclear destruction a la Russia
A mixed example: some of the worst fearmongering happened decades after the United States and USSR jointly decided that this was an existential threat that needed to be mitigated.
Ozone hole
We made it a non-issue by changing our behaviour, phasing out the chemicals that were doing most of the damage.
Osama Bin Laden
ISIS
I'd actually argue the problem is being undersold by an Islamophilic media that doesn't want to admit that their beliefs are not heterodoxy in Islam.
Now that those chemicals aren't being put into the atmosphere, and that is what "fixed" the ozone hole, then why was the hole bigger than ever measured in 2020?
The over-reaction to Covid has been off the charts but at least some people have died of Covid. How many have died from the Ozone hole? Again, another sky is falling scare.
People gain the ability to select the sex of their babies.
Feminists select women exclusively in order to avoid "bringing a potential rapist into the world". They push this hard to the point that no boys are being born. Leftist news outlets run stories about how this is "a good thing".
There's no more men to produce sperm. The woman of the world embrace the ideology of extinction rebellion to deal with the impending extinction of the human race.
Somewhere, perhaps deep in a rainforest or on some tiny island, a small group of uncontacted humans survive. From this seed, humanity grows once more.

I don't agree with some of your examples:

If you repeat a lie often enough....
The over-reaction to Covid has been off the charts but at least some people have died of Covid. How many have died from the Ozone hole? Again, another sky is falling scare.
Or the much more likely scenario where they will grow only women and phase men out of existence.
Who would do the actual work?
Uh, sweatie, we'll just abolish rent and implement UBI then no one will have to work ?.
Like feminists would care. No one cares for logic or reason anymore.
People gain the ability to select the sex of their babies.
Feminists select women exclusively in order to avoid "bringing a potential rapist into the world". They push this hard to the point that no boys are being born. Leftist news outlets run stories about how this is "a good thing".
