I am not doing shit. The UK government and other European nations do this without me (warn travelers about the US). I was just pointing it out and the possible rationales even if statistically it is a non-issue.
Preference and perception drive most people. Let’s just examine the fact that lots of people refuse to fly even though it is safer than driving. Are they wrong from a statistical analysis, sure. Are you going to convince them with stats, probably not.
Trying to justify perception and stating it exists are two different things. I can speak to both. It definitely exists and the reason it exists is due to verifiable information.
Your statistical analysis cannot disprove perception because people are more likely to accept anecdotal evidence. That is just human nature.
You can definitely fight back with anecdotal information yourself (ie: My relatives traveled to the US and has a splendid time with no problems) but trying to sway people with statistics is a non-starter for a lot of people.
You are telling me you can absolutely alter people’s belief with statistics!? Perhaps a few people who believe in this type of analysis.
All you comments give me the Impression I am talking to a brick wall. Maybe it is a ESL thing or perhaps your profound lack of reading comprehension. Any insight?

You’re trying to justify the perception. If you’re not trying to, you’re doing it by accident, so maybe that’s something you can avoid.

This comment gives the impression of trying to justify it.
You absolutely can alter perception with evidence. It depends on your audience. Using statistics in a misleading way has the opposite effect.
