Yep, right on cue, like I predicted.

No, because I’m not an fool.

Imagine I’m wandering around the jungle, and I start seeing lion prints... then start seeing lion crap... I start thinking there might be a lion around.

But then the medicine man Dugway Dubaku tells me correlation is not causation, and I should ignore my lying eyes and common sense until there is a study done to prove there is a lion around.

But damned if Dugway Dubaku never gets around to the study. Imagine that.

Meanwhile, the tracks and scat get fresher and stinkier. Still Dubaku tells me to ignore the signs.

I would have to be some kind of raging idiot to not take precautions for a lion. And I should also regard Dubaku with extreme skepticism.

Take the medical mumbo-jumbo and the complex numbers and statistics out of the mix which are used to confuse and obfuscate and this example is what we’re reduced to.

You would have evidence that a lion caused those.
Right now, you have evidence that COVID kills people.
