Sacramento City Unified schools with lower state test scores tend to have lower vaccination rates

As the Sacramento City Unified School District pushed its deadline back for students to either get vaccinated against COVID-19 or consent to weekly testing, a correlation was found between schools with low vaccination rates and low state standardized testing scores.

[artichokegrower]

Somewhat twisted logic. How about comparing schools with a high percentage white and Asian student body vs those with a high percentage Hispanic and black student body. Maybe vaccination rates have nothing to do with it.

Logical fallacy: post hoc, ergo propter hoc. After that, because of that. (Shark attacks increase as ice cream consumption increases, therefore ice cream consumption causes shark attacks.) Vaccination is a 1 time event. Deliberate dumbing down of schools has been going on for 150 years. What Are Studies of Dumbed-Down Compulsory Universal Schooling?

[mewzilla]

All this assumes that the bureaucrats aren’t lying about vaccination rates.

I would not make that assumption.

[ronnie raygun]

So what they are saying is we are all stupid including the low test score schools and their surrounding communities

[P-Marlowe]

So the vaccine increases your IQ?

Is that the latest sales pitch?

[mewzilla]

Someone should ask them why the uptake rate among PhDs is so low, then...

[ptsal]

Whew.... the scientific method has been turned on its head...

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

One would really have to be a defective self-appointed intellectual to come up with such a theory and then think that they can sell it. Everyone knows that lower test scores are due to global warming./s

[vpintheak]

Exactly what I was thinking. Of course they are counting on the idiots to think these are evil republicans and conservatives

[CodeToad]

I work with and know know many PhDs, myself included, and none have had the death jab. From the beginning, this entire covid scare never was based in fact, and we know how to discern fact from fiction. Most people tend to think if the boobtube tells them something then it is a fact.

[mewzilla]

CoupFlu has never been about science or public health.

[glorgau]

They’re implying the stupid ones don’t get vaccinated.

[mewzilla]

I know folks who don’t trust the boob tube, but trusted their government, their docs.

They’ve had a rude awakening.

[mewzilla]

Deep State is calling PhDs stupid.

(chortle)

[ChildOfThe60s]

Well, what do you expect? These people are liberals and they are impressively ignorant. Which I guess is a redundancy.

I’m pretty sure that anyone connected with the composition of this sad piece of trash never took any college-level statistical analysis classes.

Everything the left says, does, or writes is governed by agenda. Facts and a search for truth never come into play.

[Da Coyote]

Ah, media “logic”.
Competing successfully for the “Oxymoronus Maximus”.

[EastTexasTraveler]

Correlation does not equal causation.

[Macoozie]

"They’re implying the stupid ones don’t get vaccinated."

and that the district is ~20% minority White.

So the 80% black, brown, yellow and tan folks are too dumb to know what is good for them.

so Ms Whitey White is a racist?

And the really smart ones mask their kids after vaccination. I still haven’t found out what happens in six months, when the really smart ones realize their limited protection is gone
