    Why does this remind me of Trump saying that we could reduce COVID infections by not testing so much.

    Because COVID infections and pregnancy related deaths stop existing if you just stop measuring them, right?

      They’re treating it exactly like America treats gun violence: we all know it happens, we just don’t exactly know how bad it is.

      We all know it’s possible for women to die in childbirth, but it’s impossible to point to GOP policies being the cause if we don’t know why or how many women are dying.

        Oooo I’d love a window into how a policy is affecting society. Beyond visualizing the effects in this example, it’d be great to see what other aspects it effects if any that I’m otherwise ignorant to.
