Before the thread sinks into obscurity forever from reaching the cap, I want to provide everyone with another book recommendation.
The book I want to recommend is one you will notice was recommended by Bill Gates' book recommendations. There's good reason, too.
It's titled, "How to Lie With Statistics," written by Darrell Huff.

Here is a quick synopsis:
>Have you ever wondered how the people who publish statistics so often turn up numbers that support their position? Sometimes, the numbers really do support the person or group publishing them, but statistics aren’t as objective as we might like to believe.

>In How to Lie With Statistics, author Darrell Huff explains how people with agendas manipulate figures and how they’re presented to create statistics that support their views. You’ll learn how to spot shady sampling and graphs that are technically accurate but visually misleading. You’ll also learn why suspiciously precise numbers really are suspicious. Finally, you’ll learn about a quick questionnaire you can use to evaluate the legitimacy of any statistic you’re presented with.

Once again, I'll offer a download of the book in pdf form for everyone to read:

This book will help you to understand a different perspective of narrative control, propaganda, and promoting agendas. It offers clear insights into the methods used by the institutions of our society, such as media, WEF, and all of the others, for how they take data and statistics and present it to the public in ways that help to promote whatever agenda they're wishing to achieve.

I'll provide a recent real world anecdote as an example. Keep in mind, I'm focusing solely on one specific example, not the entirety of the manipulation they engaged in nor the issue as a whole.

Let's begin.

When we first entered into the pandemic there was confusion regarding what was taking place. Media had giant splash screens of death and total cases plastered on the side at all times. These "trackers" kept a constant tally for the purpose of instilling fear, keeping people tuned in.
See the picrel as an example.

Now, the numbers presented were simply raw numbers. All nuance and other possibly relevant information was otherwise stripped. The reason why is because it served the agenda. When people were speaking out against draconian restrictions being implemented, they would bring up the importance of that nuance and the relevant statistics, such as "per capita" and distribution. Those people were quickly silenced using many of the manipulation and suppression techniques already mentioned in this thread.

Fast-forward. When the vaccine was finally made available, the people who were hesitant continued to keep a keen eye on relevant statistical data to judge efficacy, spread, and reactions, etc. The entire spectrum was brought into consideration, as it should be. When they began pointing out that certain raw metrics had high numbers of reports, as well as other inconsistencies, suddenly the institutions changed how they presented things. In support of their objective, they now yelled about "per capita" and used available statistics in ways which helped reinforce their narrative.
One example are the designations of "vaccinated" and "unvaccinated." The "vaccinated" were defined as "Those who were vaxxed and were up-to-date on all boosters." The "unvaccinated" were defined as "Those who were not vaxxed, and (this is key) those who were vaxxed but were not up-to-date on all boosters." See the problem?
Suddenly nuance existed. Statistics were used in ways that could create ambiguity and promote a narrative they wanted.
I'll just leave it at that. Knowing how statistics can be used as a form of manipulation is critical.
Pay attention.
