“Yeah....that one was not a good analogy” (winning on a lottery ticket, after having received vaccine)

It is a good analogy of the Post Hoc fallacy.

That which simply comes before, can not be concluded to have caused that which comes after.

This analogy clearly shows can be absolutely no causative relationship, despite the correlation.

It is a good analogy, because it is so obvious, that there is no causation.

Of course there are strokes after vaccination. That alone does not mean that vaccination caused them.

Vaccination does not make people immune to strokes. They will continue to occur. The sun will rise, whether or not the cock crows (bagster’s analogy, in which he apparently unwittingly made the point of the Post Hoc fallacy, not supporting his own premise of correlation proving causation of strokes by vaccine).

If there were significantly more strokes than would be expected randomly, that would be evidence of a potential problem.

But there are not.

Really, a physiological mechanism of action would have to be identified, and the incidence would have have to high enough above the average, to make a rational argument against using these vaccines. Neither is the case.

That was (part of) my point.

We don’t know because they more than likely are NOT reporting these related events (strokes/heart attacks), so....we cannot be certain.

And, as far as these experimental ‘vaccines not making people immune to strokes’....they’re not making people immune to China Flu, either...and, whose to say they aren’t, in fact, triggering strokes?

We DON’T know....no matter how many analogies you and your cohorts attempt to make.

Its a terrible analogy, bro. For one thing, cocks cannot cause the sun to come up, and two, taking vax cannot influence lottery outcomes. But guess what? Vaccines can cause adverse reactions, just like any foreign substance put into the human body.

Let me try to illustrate to your illogical mind with a couple of analogies of my own, these being a bit closer to home.

Scenario #1

A man goes out to the bar one night. He drinks his ass of until he can barely stumble to his car. He gets in the car and drives off. He rams his car into a tree and dies.

Of course, you would tell me 'correlation is not causation' and trot out some fancy debate rules you learned at City College, but it doesn't take Einstein to know that the substance homeboy put in his body (alcohol) was the cause of the incident. Heck, they even got laws with that in mind.

And that one has nothing to do with cocks (or lotto tickets).

Scenario #2

A young man goes to a party. He ingests four tabs of LSD and finds himself on the balcony of the tall building the party is being held in. He strips off his shirt and screams to the world, "I AM A GOLDEN GOD", and thinking himself immortal, dives off the balcony to the pavement below, proving to one and all that a) he is not immortal, and b) he is not a golden god.

There are no cocks in this story, except a smooshed one, and no lottery tickets.

Along comes Bobo the poindexter giving his statement to the po-po, who show up on the scene. "Officers," proclaims Bobo, slightly inebriated, "I saw the whole thing. The LSD had nothing to do with him jumping. Correlation is not causation".

Bobo then used geometric logic and explained to the fuzz about cocks and lotteries.

They ended up booking Bobo for public drunkenness, and Bobo spent the night in the drunk tank, where he was set upon most indecently by a pack of winos, when he tried to explain his cock theory. They took his shoes. And his manhood.

So you see, Bobo. Your cock and lotto scenarios are not even in the ballpark of logic when it comes to taking vax and having a stroke.

I'm not sure if I can make this any simpler for you.

If you don't concede the point, then you are forever lost amid a tsunami of misunderstanding and illogic, lies and over thinking, which is often a failing of the psuedo-intellectual.

Of course there are strokes after vaccination. That alone does not mean that vaccination caused them.

Of course there are strokes after vaccinations COVID. That alone does not mean that vaccination COVID caused them.

Of course there are deaths after vaccinations COVID.That alone does not mean that vaccination COVID caused them.

Of course there are blood clots after vaccinations.That alone does not mean that vaccination COVID caused them.

Of course there are miscarriages after vaccinations COVID.That alone does not mean that vaccination COVID caused them.

And yet the Covidians attribute everything under the sun to COVID in their bid to fear monger, or more likely terrify, people into taking an experimental treatment with completely unknown long term effects and give them no recourse for damages when they do have them.

This injection is completely a take at your own risk thing and if you have problems from it, sucks to be you.

But not to fear, the Covidians will assure you that it wasn’t the “vaccine”. It was just pure bad luck, and hey, so a few people die or are injured. No big deal. Just collateral damage. It would have happened to them anyways. Gotta expect that with vaccines.

But we can’t even have one death from COVID or the world is ending.

What rank hypocrisy.
