post hoc, ergo propter hoc: after this, therefore because of this : because an event occurred first, it must have caused this later event —used to describe a fallacious argument

Yeah, that obviously doesn’t mean these two events are not connected.

Math sucks. It always seems to tell us what we don’t want to hear. Like the US death rate and numbers being the same in 2020 as 2019 and 2018

OK, so why the sudden spike in deaths?

I eagerly await your reasoned response.

Concluding that that is the cause is the fallacy, but it most assuredly indicates where you should start investigating...

Exactly, correlation DOES NOT = causation.

People who died in motorcycle crashes, presumably with covid, are called covid deaths. The people got the shot. Using the same standard, they died from the shot. I no longer care about logic. I use the standard of the enemy. They died from the vaccine.

Coincidence is not causation, but a sub-month 18% death rate? Compared to a previous of 0%?

Ho Lee Shiite! You tell me: What are the odds?

This horrific fatality rate was suddenly caused by non-vaccination factors? I’ll bet you.

I’m familiar with that, however, the variable here was the injection of an mRNA of Covid injected into otherwise non-Covid infected patience.

Are you saying one has nothing to do with the other?

post hoc, ergo propter hoc
You can't prove causality by chronology, but neither does that negate the earlier event as the possible cause.
