Scientician and useful idiot Neil deGrasse Tyson licks Xi’s boots and busts out ‘pretty-much meaningless data’ to prove the US sucks [pic]

According to our calculations, Neil deGrasse Tyson is a useful idiot.

It’s also not good to have data representation which doesn’t account for:
– Population differences
– More testing
– China lying

It’s like using a share price alone to determine which company is more valuable. Or claiming CA is close to TX by folding a map.

BREAKING: renowned smart guy takes CCP at their word.

Mr. Science sharing pretty-much meaningless data adjusted for zero important factors and still using fake Chinese data. ? https://t.co/g4hlyuBghG

It's equally not good that America's top science communicator appears not to know what a per capita is … and also trusts the Chinese numbers be know are lies.

We understand that he thinks he’s smarter than the rest of us, but is there no one close to him who can disabuse him of that notion?

Hope Xi sees this.

What does Xi's boots taste like?

Hopefully not bats.

Man, you are way too smart to post something like that! There is zero chance you posted this in good faith.

Spoiler: He’s not that smart. But we absolutely believe that he’s a bad-faith actor.

You're pretty good at the things you're pretty good at. This ain't one of 'em.

We honestly weren’t aware that he was pretty good at anything.

Oh, and by the way, Neil:

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t see the point in being snarky about a deadly virus killing Americans

Do us all a favor, Mr. Wizard:

Oh do piss off already.
