I don’t get it. Could be because I was still asleep 20 minutes ago.

For the sleepy brains and ESL-ers: It is an idiom.

I still don’t get the 340% increase in the production part though.

Anti-vaxxers love cherry picking.

Me either, but assuming it’s a real screenshot, the date is 2018. I didn’t do much digging, but 2018 saw an increase in cherry crops according to this source https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/usda-2018-cherry-crop-production-up-from-last-year.

An overall increase of 60% is pretty big! If this specific farm had an especially bad year in 2017, a 340% increase isn’t out of the question.

They’re very experienced at cherry picking, since they do it all the time. Therefore they’re able to do it better / faster than most.

Anti vaxers cherry pick information to state their claims are correct. Therefore they’re super good at it

I thought they kept dying and adding nurtiants to the soil

Ahhhhhhhhhh. That would make sense. My mind initially was asking if there was some form of an extract or essential oil that came from cherries that they claimed was a wonder anti drug.

I thought the death rate among antivaxers was so high that they provide regular fertilization for the trees.

I thought like the cherry picker carts that help you drive around at elevated altitude

There’s also a sort of second level to the joke in that reporting on the results for a single orchard is in itself cherry picking.
