That is where you go wrong trying to paint it as a level playing field of information. It isn't a level playing field, all the information is not the same quality, in just the same way all opinions are not equal.
If you can massage the numbers to prove a point, you can do it on either side of the fence.
The stats and numbers do not lie, they are not subject to human interpretation, influence or obfuscation, they are not like opinions that can be spun bent or twisted to an individuals will!
The emphasis on wanting COVID-19 deaths proven to support or refute the COVID-19 restrictions and other actions is also flawed, it's built on the premise that COVID-19 infections that aren't deadly are somehow OK! The evidence suggests the long term effects of long COVID-19 will potentially be far far costlier than the initial deaths. As abhorrent as it may read, a funeral is far far cheaper than a treatment or long term critical care!
