A dumb person saying a dumb thing is one thing, but KY3 choosing to put that out as the primary message and the counterclaim tucked in at the end where many have stopped reading by is an entirely different thing.

Rhetorically, it’s a little weird to fact check someone’s statement before quoting them. They did it in literally the very next sentence.

Not really. They give 2 paragraphs emphasizing the danger. Then without any rhetorical device connecting it like a transitional expression, they present a new paragraph with a citation from the CDC decreasing the strength slightly while still emphasizing danger then at the end of that paragraph say the DEA says you aren't going to die from it. It absolutely isn't in the next sentence it is in a different paragraph from his statement.
