Thatβs fine and all but donβt most people now gather the reputation that the info being shared by that source is sloppy/incorrect?
Maybe more people see it, but do those people also take it seriously or are more people just making fun of it for being wrong?
It tricks them to actually look into it. First reaction is they're happy because they proved the meme wrong... but then they realize that it's only wrong by a small percentage, and the underlying sentiment remains (in this case that flu numbers fell off a cliff). People who get all their "info" from corrupt MSM probably never knew this, now they do.
Okay, so say a normie sees this and it tricks them into looking into it. First thing they find is that the numbers are wrong. Why would they continue trusting that source?
All the TV "news" channels told you that it's going to be 80* and sunny tomorrow.
Some random "conspiracy nutjob" tells you that it's going to be 50* and cloudy tomorrow.
Tomorrow comes and it's 57* and cloudy.
Are you going to laugh at the conspiracy guy because he missed the mark slightly? Or, is a light bulb going to illuminate in your brain as you question why all the "reputable" news sources had hidden the truth from you about the cold front moving in?
The average person doesn't have the slightest clue how many flu cases and deaths there are, year after year. The average person believes that they were hundreds of thousands of extra deaths last year from Covid. If those people need to be tricked to get them to look into the truth, then so be it.
You're implying that the error is always going to be slight. Secondly, you're using a prediction as an example rather than hard data.
What I would like to see is the correct data. People don't always have to predict the weather, but they should be diligent enough that if they want to prove someone that the weather a year ago was different than what sources say, they should have the right numbers in front of them
So if the CDC numbers aren't the truth, and the image OP posted is not the truth, then that doesn't get us anywhere
