No question that folks with preconceived notions - or ulterior motives - can and often do cherry pick and/or manipulate representations of data to support preconceived notions, biases, and ulterior motives.
McNamara - may he burn in hell - certainly cherry picked, manipulated representations, and had ulterior motives in his use of data.
On the other hand, use of accurate data to predict infectious disease characteristics has been proven, over and over again, to reliably predict the paths of such diseases.
Rates of infection, mechanisms of infection, mortality, disease characteristics, are accurately measurable. Simple actually. Lot of work sure, but simple mathematics and straightforward medical work.
