perspective on what you’re willing to believe with your own eyes. Just because two events are temporally related, that doesn’t mean there is cause and effect.

Furthermore, you reversed that logic in a different post when you said that chicken pox didn’t cause deaths. They caused secondary infections which caused death.

So which is it? Are temporally associated events linked or not?

What you’re demonstrating here is a classic case of confirmation bias because you’re applying the same logic differently across topics to suit your overall purpose.

Again, to be clear, I don’t deny that there may be harmful side effects of vaccinations. But the actual scientific research doesn’t support that notion nearly as much as it supports the advantages (i.e. lives saved). It may be that we learn some day that you are right about all of this. But make your points based on rigorous research (e.g. use that Google Scholar Metrics link to estimate the quality of the sources), not on observations of temporally associated events.
