Nice catch. This was all one big psyop.

and was very careful to bucket the demographics and causes of death to produce a desired impression that is not consistent with reality.

How different from reality? I'm not gonna put a huge difference in effort vs #1 and #2 causes of death. I think car centrism and gun violence are both pretty bad. The study changed my views from not thinking gun violence even on the radar for top causes of death of kids to now seeing it as one of the major causes.

Also that first paragraph of critique is pretty nitpicky.

Children -> Children and adolescents

Deaths by gun violence -> firearm deaths

This IS subtle lmao. Most people I talk to would not consider those different in casual conversation, and the first part comes from a meme.
