That's why they selectively show people what they want, while CDC data is there and pretty clear.
On top of that, people don't understand scale. It's kind of like skydiving, at 15,000 feet you know you're way the fuck up there but your body doesn't react the same way as at 4,000 feet or so.
So they hear "omg 300 kids died in 2 years!!!! It's horrible!!"
Meanwhile: 10,000 children aged 1 to 14 die a year, as of 2018. 8,000 are SHOT a year.
But there are 73 MILLION CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES.
Nobody knows how to read data or statistics.
