Todd Rokita, the AG of state of Indiana said in an interview that the data being provided by the Indiana Dept of Health is politicized. True. It’s a crap-ton of data that is cherry picked to show a certain result or to hide certain data points. The ISDH follows all CDC ‘guidelines’ to the letter and remains lockstep with federal utterings.
Thus showing that he really isn’t very bright, Holcomb is incensed by the fact that Rokita is daring to tell the truth.
“And it’s quite serious when you accuse or insinuate anyone of inflating numbers. In my book, that’s called fraud,” Holcomb said.
He couldn’t even get that right. Accusing someone of inflating numbers is calling them out (and that’s not what Rokita did–he said he didn’t trust the numbers). What ISDH is doing with their data is untrustworthy to anyone who has ever worked with data. Not sure that it’s fraud, particularly, but doesn’t provide an accurate picture. And, point in fact, the numbers HAVE been inflated due to the PCR tests that are finally dying come tomorrow. And everyone has known it for at least the last six months, if not longer.
Holcomb needs to stick with sports metaphors. Math is hard and he needs to not strain his brain.
