        A distrust of public health officials and the government in general is motivating some of the protesters. That's what I'm highlighting here.

        In what way do they not trust the information? They think the numbers are actually lower or higher?

        Nobody trusts anything these days unless it conforms to their world views & biases. This is Trump’s legacy

        How did they respond when you asked the follow up as to the source of their disbelief?

        When States are getting X amount of $ per COVID patient, and new york just listed nearly 4000 COVID case deaths with none even being tested. Can't see why anyone would believe these numbers.
