A report of more deaths in children from COVID-19 than from influenza ignored the over-reporting "coding error" admitted by CDC. Bloomberg published it anyway.
There is a huge difference. I knew a 10 year old girl who died of the flu in 2015. It was horrible and I'm still reeling from it. When my own kids caught Flu B a few years ago right before the pandemic, I was vigil by their bedsides because of that earlier experience (they were sleepy but overall fine after a week). I've known many kids sick with covid and its a cold to them. They are better after 12 hours (unless they are jabbed, then its taking them longer). Fear mongering at its best
I'm reminded of something from my marketing studies. To paraphrase: The inability of the subject to discern the truth once they've been anchored in a falsehood (presented as truth initially) is almost impossible. Even when the source of the falsehood is face to face with the subject telling them they made up the "Fact," the odds are that the subject will incorrectly remember the accurate/true fact even within a day or two of the initial anchor/correction point. Now that we are 2.5 years into this family funhouse of fear its no wonder they can't get it right, nor can they accept the initial anchor data as inaccurate/not true. This phenomenon is similar to the cognitive bias of Primacy - she who speaks first sets the anchor and whoever speaks next is S*it Out of Luck regardless of accuracy of the statement. Moral of the Story: Speak first and set the anchor. Dr. F-ouchie is a master at this.
Gonna be a long hard road.

I wonder if Twitter and Facebook will ban Bloomberg for misinformation?
