I don't know how true this may or may not be, but it does cause a person to at least question what is going on especially after the gov't pretty much said as much.
This comes a few posts after "The bottom line is that the government and the media are playing fast and loose with the truth. ... the last thing we need is the government or the media spreading false hoods in the process. I want clear and credible information, not something to sensationalize the issue."
This post is a political provocateur, and a hard-edged one at that, and a random person whose feed reads like that of a political provocateur. There is a very low chance they are credible and they are most certianly sensationalizing. The original article referenced was in fact from a media source, one known to traffic in sensationalism.
There is oft profit to be made in telling you a source of authority is actually bunk, and the only true source is the person telling you it's bunk. It leverages a desire to see the world in a certain way. In this case you had the idea planted that actually the cases might be bunk en masse, and you went and found a piece of not very credible information and presented it as if it were something.
It's possible the numbers are wrong. And it's possible they're being tinkered with for some kind of profit. It's also possible our low unemployment rate was tinkered with. It's possible the stock market is actually all a lie to control our level of calm and panic. It's possible all our voting numbers are just made up by a single party who uses a two-party split as a manner of behavioral control. Many outlandish things are possible.
In the end, the idea that all these numbers are inflated for ill means is super sensationalistic. It's also probably massaging the truth to the point that it's pretty fast and loose (assuming these COVID overlap cases are car accidents and suicides rather than chronic lung and heart issues). If we want to stand for credibility and against sensationalism, we can't turn to the latter and put no weight on the former to do so.
