Reading the SM posts of RFK Jr’s mad anti-vax supporters is a statistician’s nightmare. They’re all wielding graphs showing the rise in vaccine use and the rise in autism as evidence that one causes the other. You could do a similar chart with the increase in ice cream flavours and autism.

Be afraid, be very afraid.
Autists have always existed. You're seeing a rise in awareness, not an "outbreak" of autism.
We are not a disease to be cured. We are simply people with different brains. To "cure" us would be eugenics.
No, I don't think sales of the motorized dumpster are related to the increase in Autism.
No, I don't believe Dollar Stores cause Autism.
He hasn't killed any kids.
Some of the blood of innocent children needlessly dead from measles, etc, IS definitely on his hands.
Samoans and Mennonites are not in charge of the US health care system. RFKJ is.
Even prior to that, back-biting RFK jr has been worse than anything he did or said.
What do you think he promoted that was so bad? Do yu have proof he did? Cause the MSM lies about him for click bait.

Seems a bit odd no?
Do you think the culling process is so quick and neat itself?
They do not contain full statements by him, but only claims he said something, or short edited quotes out of context. That strawman is then attacked by their selected "experts".
I am not going to pick all that apart for you piece by piece.
But RFK jr did not make them that way.
Correlation does NOT equal correlation

Anyway, before scientists discovered autism, nobody had it, so I'll draw a graph that shows it's their fault......
(or *they're*, if I let autokorrect run the show 🙂)

The increase is women holding jobs and the rise in autism.
The increase in global temperatures and the rise in autism.
The increase in gas prices and the rise in autism.
The increase in population and the rise in autism.
“What did you do about it?”
“I took a course on the matter”
“Did it help?”
“Wellllll……”
There could be an actual argument for this — if piracy serves as a check on capitalism and encourages more local use and investment, that localization then keeps capital closer to home and thereby encourages preventing externalization of environmental damage.
As though this image shows "organization" lol
It's definitely the ice cream!
Correlation is not causation.
The Trump administration really is the authentic voice of the uniformed and uneducated.

The abuse of power and gross patronism online by the Republicans isn't going hidden, it's completely accentuated.
Why would this be any different?
Neil in The Young Ones.
Subquantally cause and effect is an illusion or may be bi-as in bidirectional, like time.
Increase in # of triple MAGAts jumping ship and autism.
Increase in # of Presidential Felony charges and autism.
Autism has been around as long as we've been human.
An increase in awareness and diagnoses is the "cause".
The only "cure" for autism is eugenics, so just stop pathologizing us. We're not diseased.
They don't, but at least he'd be trying to do something useful.

This was part of a lesson in my statistics course. I think it needs to be required reading just in general.
Ice cream, the scourge we never knew!!!
Thanks for sharing
Correlations is not causation.
Maybe look at Facebook, Twitter, Amazon games too.
