yes, it is. you use a source of only 10 doctors out of over 600,000 in the US. That is the very definition of cherry picking dimwit Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position. It is a kind of fallacy of selective attention, the most common example of which is the confirmation bias. [1] [2] Cherry picking may be committed intentionally or unintentionally. This fallacy is a major problem in public debate. [3]
