The mortality rate for all those who haven’t had CV would also be 100% proving nothing.

 

My point exactly. There is nothing to be proved by these sensational "dies after being vaccinated" stories.

It’s called ‘confirmation bias’ defined as: “... the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one’s prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated entirely, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills.”
