“Post hoc ergo prompter hoc” AND “argument ad ignoratum”: congratulations. You’ve managed to commit two logical fallacies in one post.

You’re in good company though. When it comes to vaccine-scare arguments, these fallacies are almost always the basis for the “argument”. “My brother’s, friend’s, uncle’s former roommate got the shot and then he had genitalia warts the next day!” That MUST have been from the shot — he didn’t have genital warts before the shot. I can’t think of ANY other cause for his genital warts, so it MUST have been the shot.

Read these vaccine-scare items critically and you’ll see that these are the two (fallacious) arguments at their core.

1. It happened after vaccination so it must have been caused by it. Sorry, but no. Worldwide over a half billion people have received a COVID vaccine. Do you really think NONE of those 500+ million would have died during the past 7 months since vaccinations began? No skin conditions? No blood clots? If you want to demonstrate that a safety issue is present, it’s not sufficient to simply count adverse reactions or deaths. You must compare that count to a count of similar effects among an unvaccinated population of the same size. That’s something NEVER meantioned in these scare articles.

2. I can’t think of any reason other than the vaccine why it happened, so the vaccine must have caused it. This one should be obvious; things happen to people all the time, and the cause is not always apparent. People who are vaccinated also do other things, are exposed to toxins or pathogens unrelated to the vaccine, and may have undetected health issues unrelated to the vaccine. Again, it’s never mentioned that the adverse reactions reported may not be caused by the vaccine.

I just don’t think that teaching my cells to produce a pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is a good idea. I want my cells producing the proteins their DNA directs them to produce.

Again, it’s never mentioned that the
adverse reactions reported
may not be caused by the vaccine./

Well that settles it then

Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)

is worthless and should be shut down

( so glad the fraudici bots have enlightened me )

Ok, you never said to get rid of vaers,
but that’s the logical conclusion you posit.

” doesn’t prove it was the vax”

Then why have it ? ,

if there is no way to tell
if it was the vax that caused
an adverse reaction.

It makes vaers unreliable
and functionaly worthless.

The logical conclusion of your assertions
that vaers doesn’t
prove anything , useless,
is that we should get rid of
vaers cuz it doesn’t serve a
purpose.

No, you just want to denigrate anything
that contradicts your provax stance.

Like the vaers incriminating data.

Look forward to another of
your 10000
weasel word rebuttal

that won’t
touch my point with tony’s tellywacker.

Hey, troll-boi.

How often do post-menopausal women suddenly begin having periods again?

Pull your head out of the sand.
