Every year, more than 795,000 people in the US have a stroke.

795,001 if you count Lauren Boebert!

Try not to get too excited.

Say, that gives me an idea.

I can make an Excel spreadsheet of strokes, and one of clot shots.

If they BOTH go up, it PROVES they're related.

Which is literally what you said about BLM riots and COVID cases, while telling me sententiously that "Correlation is not causation."

Dingbat.

Which is literally what you said about BLM riots and COVID cases, while telling me sententiously that "Correlation is not causation."

You REALLY REALLY do not understand causal relationships, do you?

Correlation is not causation, non-causal relationship: People eat more ice cream in the summer. There are more deaths by drowning in the summer. These are correlated, yet eating ice cream does not cause people to drown. The correlation is that they both increase in summer.

Correlation is causation, causal relationship: Respiratory diseases spread among people in close proximity breathing each other's breath. During BLM riots, people were in close proximity, breathing each other's breath. Therefore, the spread of respiratory illness (Covid) is directly caused by rioters being in close proximity to each other.

Yes, I get it. Science has so many nuances that make it difficult to understand. But you can at least try, can't you?
