I don’t get it. Could be because I was still asleep 20 minutes ago.
Anti vaxers cherry pick information to state their claims are correct. Therefore they’re super good at it
Ahhhhhhhhhh. That would make sense. My mind initially was asking if there was some form of an extract or essential oil that came from cherries that they claimed was a wonder anti drug.
I thought the death rate among antivaxers was so high that they provide regular fertilization for the trees.
That was my thought too. Nothing like a bit of blood and bone to get plants growing. Something, something…it’s what plants crave!
There’s also a sort of second level to the joke in that reporting on the results for a single orchard is in itself cherry picking.
I thought they kept dying and adding nurtiants to the soil
My dumbass thought it was programming related
For the sleepy brains and ESL-ers: It is an idiom.
I still don’t get the 340% increase in the production part though.
Anti-vaxxers love cherry picking.
Yeah, but if your results are only a biased subset of your total gamut (vaccers + anti-vaccers) then 340% is still an astonishing result when only taking your preferred group.
It actually does build credibility that the group you’re biased towards had the most significant result.
If the total gains were 1000% including contributions from both groups, then yes I can understand the point the post is making (340 from anti-vaccers, 660 from vaccers, clear cherry-picking).
But 340 is already an incredibly high number, so it sort of weakens the post, if you catch my meaning
You are overthinking a (bad) joke
