The frequency is increasing.... in another month, they will no longer be able to ignore the issue or gaslight on the numbers of those 16 to 54 suddenly dying right and left from heart-attacks. What's disturbing is the quickness by the NeoSocialist Left immediately dismissing the plausibility without any evidence it's not.

So maybe it's Fentanyl, maybe it's steroid use, maybe it's the increase of soy-based foods, maybe something else entirely, maybe it's not the pseudo-vaccines - but prove it.

There definitely is something amiss that warrants investigation to be sure of what it is and what it is not.

Maybe it was planned.

Maybe it was planned.

Maybe they are too full of hubris.

"Correlation does not equal causation"

That's a very true, and very "sterile" statement.

I've often seen the point much more effectively communicated with the example "Fire Trucks Do Not Cause Fires."

There is a very strong correlation between the number of fire trucks at the scene of a fire, and the dollar value of damage caused by the fire. The scene of a very large multiple building fire will have a dozen or more fire trucks at the scene. A small grease pan fire will likely only have a single fire truck dispatched. The more trucks there are, the more damage that you get.

Therefore, we should not send fire trucks to fires in order to limit the resulting damage.

True - but if it was training day up in the Malibu hills, with 6 firetrucks on site, whereby during their presence a 50,000 acre brush fire ignited/originated at that spot, one wouldn't simply dismiss the idea entirely that either a truck lacking a spark arrestor or some other aspect in use of the truck, could have possibly started the fire.

It would be worth posing the question and investigating, unless of course you controlled the narrative and the investigation as Fire Marshall and did not want to investigate for fear of what may be discovered. So you divert the topic, deride and ridicule your inquisitors for merely posing the question.

That's what is going on here.

It's using "Correlation does not equal causation" tropes to flippantly dismiss and disregard even questions as to what may be plausible and worth investigating, due to Leftist media's strict adherence to an agenda and narrative about pseudo-vaccines - to the point they refuse investigating it at all.

It may even be they don't want to ever have to admit they were accomplice to what had been a politically-driven and divisive take on the marketing, promotion, and persuasion of the pseudo-vaccine, which may turn out to have deadly residual side-effects.

It would not be the first time media has done this in the past 100 years.

I've always liked flu cases decrease as ice cream consumption increases. As ice cream consumption decreases, flu cases skyrocket. Therefore people should eat more ice cream for the apparent protective benefits.

(Ice cream consumption is high in the summer, and is at a low point in the winter)

Correlation doesn't equal causation. But it doesn't "not" equal it either. The people that often shriek about correlation not equaling causation often ignore that correlation MAY indicate causation.

Doesn't matter until the correlation is proven by scientific methods. Correlation is supposed to send us down that path, not provide conclusions.

Exactly my point. Correlation should not be ignored or dismissed but investigated to determine if there is causation. Too often people identify correlation and feel comfortable dismissing it out of hand.
