Was it that they were unwilling to accept it, or that they didn't care since the numbers were so useful.
CNN's standing here screaming that "300,000 people died from Covid because of Drumpf!"
Meanwhile, that's a "with Covid" number, and the initial estimates (from the same person) for the US was: 20 million dead by December 2020, and for the UK: 1 million dead by December 2020.
That’s true. Also they would go hysterical about case counts and you would have to look at the fine print to see that the vast majority of people getting covid were asymptomatic or mild. This could’ve been a great opportunity to encourage healthier lifestyles since obesity made a big difference with covid suffering
But why would they encourage healthier lifestyles, when it's much easier to get a population to acquiesce to your demands by promoting worse lifestyles that make them dependent on you?
It's the same thing that the Chinese learned: Liberals (Liberty-based people), think that a lack of food causes riots and revolutions. But that's only when they're already fed. If you starve your population so badly that they don't even have the calories to resist, then you'll never have revolutions. If you overfeed them, same difference.
Great point. Also the CDC openly rooted for the rioting thugs while at the same time telling us covid was the most dangerous thing ever. And people still took them seriously!
Part of this was the unwillingness to accept that they were wrong about their initial projections so they kept overhyping the virus
