If you still trust in the government after 2 years of incompetent-and-sometimes-willful buffoonery, let me ask you a question.

Why?

"Coding logic error"

Let's get some more context:

All-time pediatric deaths from COVID-19 reported on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID Data Tracker plummeted nearly 24% after the agency resolved a "coding logic error" on Wednesday.

The CDC's COVID Data Tracker had presented a misleading impression prior to the fix that children were dying at a sharply amplified rate amid the omicron surge earlier this year. The tool had reported 1,755 all-time deaths from children ages 0 to 17 on Tuesday, with 738 of the deaths occurring during the first 10 weeks of 2022.

After CDC resolved the error, the pediatric death figure reported on its COVID Data Tracker dropped to 1,339 all-time deaths, a reduction of 23.7% from the figure reported the day prior.

Before considering the data change, I want you to think again about how insanely low the risk of Covid is to children. In over 2 years, only 1,341 children have died with Covid out of almost 75 million kids in America. Many of these were kids with comorbidities and other conditions.

Every death is tragic, but so are the 1,115 child cancer deaths in 2019, or the more than 12,000 children who die on average every year in accidents, or the hundreds who have died every year for decades because of the flu.

Kinda makes you wonder why we shut down their entire childhoods for two years for this not-very-lethal virus.

Anyway, back to the story:

CDC spokeswoman Jasmine Reed told the Washington Examiner the agency's algorithm was accidentally counting non-COVID-related deaths in the data tracker.

"An adjustment was made to COVID Data Tracker's mortality data on March 14 involving the removal of 72,277 - including 416 pediatric deaths - deaths previously reported across 26 states because CDC's algorithm was accidentally counting deaths that were not COVID-19-related," Reed said. "Working with near real-time data in an emergency is critical to guide decision-making, but may also mean we often have incomplete information when data are first reported."

See, it's just a little whoopsie!

Nothing to see here!

After all, it's not like important political decisions and media reporting that influenced every aspect of our entire lives was based off that data.

Prior to the fix, the CDC's data had been used as the basis for articles published late last week by the Guardian and the New York Post that reported as many as a third of all child deaths from COVID-19 had occurred since the beginning of 2022 amid the omicron surge.

Consider all the revisions just this one Guardian reporter had to make:

I tell ya, every time Washington wants to abuse its power, all it needs to do is make an email server go missing, mention that "intelligence experts" have discredited a filthy laptop lost by the president's son, or have a "coding logic error."

It's funny that the errors never ever give the people more power, resources, or liberty!

Other health professionals noted that a total 70,000 deaths across all ages may have been removed by the CDC:

It sure is great that we're giving all our freedoms up to a bureaucracy that's so efficient, accurate, and moral, huh???
