See here's where being able to read a chart comes in handy. You should take a look at the bar on the left, and see how that info would make CNN appear when lined up with your own bias.

I do not have any bias. I use what is called "common sense".
Please don't use that same common sense to control traffic

Everyone has bias. It's just how our tiny monkey brains work. Failure to acknowledge your bias when considering facts isn't common sense, it shows a lack of critical thinking, which is the opposite of common sense.
"Your gut" is not an accurate representation of reality and facts.

Instinct and Bias are two different things. I have instincts and no bias.

So again, "your gut".
Did you have to size up your hockey helmet to fit a headset underneath it or can you just like take an ear pad out?
Holy shit I really hope you are trolling, if not you are the physical embodiment of everything wrong with the American education system, and I genuinely feel bad for you.

That's an interesting distribution. Makes it seem like the more centrist news sites are also the most fact based. I feel like there's an untapped market for highly opinionated, centrist news.

Instinct: My instinct tells me that the CDC is tainted and they are altering data (Much like the self described Climate Change Scientists) to fit their narrative.
Bias: The CDC in this case is biased against the proper use of data that does not fit their narrative.

The first step is admitting the problem. Now that you have identified your issues you can start to work on them.

So should I just jump right in to the lizard people harvesting adrenochrome from the children or start with something simple like robot Hillary Clinton did 9/11?
So many conspiracies so little time to undo my sheeple ways

Why not start with how the government is turning the frogs gay.
Nobody has tried to hide the fact that you're not considered fully vaccinated until after 14 days post second-shot (or first shot in J&J case). So this isn't bias, this is simply operating off their own standards.

Presenting data in a misleading way is always possible, and is in fact what this infowars site is attempting to do. That's where actual critical thought comes in. The critical thought that says... looking at that chart, if you're 14 days past your second dose (or first dose in the case of J&J,) you're a lot less likely to be hospitalized than if you aren't. Maybe people should get the vaccine ?
That's why I love to look at the numbers more than reading the news surrounding it.

I want to backtrack to this for a moment... who was it that told you and you sheepishly believed when they said "they stopped tracking (conveniently) the adverse reactions to those who took the jab"...
First, who is "they"?
Everyone and their mother on the conspiracy side has referenced VAERS since the beginning of the year, so don't know WTF you're talking about since VAERS is still going.

No man gotta go with the new one making the rounds. Ventilators actually are killing people with severe Covid, not keeping them alive longer!
