Let's bring up vaccines as an example. From both sides. One side says "but hey this person and this person died!" The other says "but this person and this person had no problems!" People can transfer the focus across entire populations. That's a lot different than "hey the FBI withheld hi def drone footage" vs "yea but he shot two black people".
There's a lot more room for scrutiny on an individual basis, and a lot more room for shifting the conversation elsewhere on a group basis.
Hurt durrr. And you realize that drowning an individual situation in a SEA of individual situations makes it much easier to gloss over the inconsistencies in one of the multitude, right?
You understand that large scale situations are made up of multiple individiual situations, right?

I feel like this is a pretty basic concept.
