Somewhat related, on the opposite point. Elon Musk among others said the counting of deaths was manipulated upwards, with comorbidity being counted as a COVID death even when the patient had 2 or more serious health conditions already. I think there is a desire to overcount which must not be glossed over either.

Great thinking. If you steal someone’s camera, and move it, and film yourself in a private location doing an indecent act, can you turn around and sue the owner of the camera for breaching your privacy? You had no permission to move the camera in the first place.
I put forth that if the premise of that movie were true, why would we have technology advancement today? Why not continuous regression of knowledge. I will also note of the past, great men of both science and faith, like James Clerk Maxwell.
Sociologists Peter Berger and Grace Davie report that “most sociologists of religion now agree” that the secularization thesis—that religion declines as a society becomes more modern—“ has been empirically shown to be false.”
Most striking of all are the demographic studies that predict that it is not religious populations but secular ones that are in long-term decline. The April 2015 Pew study projects that the percentage of atheists, agnostics, and the religiously unaffiliated will slowly but steadily decline, from 16.4 percent of the world’s population today to 13.2 percent forty years from now. University of London professor Eric Kaufmann, in his book Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?, speaks of “the crisis of secularism” and argues that the shrinkage of secularism and liberal religion is inevitable.
