Except that argument is backwards from real-politik. Any politician who is in charge of an area wants to pretend that the case numbers are lower than they actually are. See China for instance.
Doesn't matter if you're local, state, or national levels. The real-politick move is to pretend your counts are far lower than reality.
When in doubt about reality, focus on the real-politik. Conspiracies that go against human nature should be discounted.

They have been telling us in every way possible to get the vaccine, for example. Everywhere you looked, you got "register for vaccine as quickly as you can!"... now you do not even have to register anymore. They are saying "come, get the vaccine" without registering. Higher death counts was supposed to be another way of encouraging people to get the vaccine, and to wear masks where they gotta, and so forth. What for do you think they wanted a lower count? "real-politik"... right.
