“Correlation does not equal causation.”

If it quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and wears pharma branded shoes, then its probably a quack.

Funny how you ‘doctors’ and ‘researchers’ all quote CDC numbers until they don’t fit your agenda. Then you start with the “there’s no evidence”.

There are plenty of cases where healthy children get the shot and suddenly develop problems. Just because you can’t explain why doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem.

What "agenda" are you talking about? If I have an "agenda", it is to protect human health. That's the reason I went into research. And I really don't know what you mean by that statement about quoting CDC numbers until they "don't fit [my] agenda." As a researcher, I refer to countless different sources; if the CDC happens to be the source for a piece of information I need, I use it.

There are plenty of cases where children have not received a shot and developed the same problems. Establishing a cause-and-effect relationship is a lot more involved than merely observing "X happened, then Y." First, you need two large groups of children (hundreds or thousands in each group). Then you need to examine their medical histories, and record how many children developed each adverse event. Then you need to analyze whether the incidence of each adverse event is statistically different between the two groups. I've heard plenty of scare stories about horrible conditions developing after receiving the vaccine, but I have yet to see the statistical comparison to a control group.

I hope you never drink coffee before leaving for work in the morning. By your criteria, coffee is a killer, by causing people to have accidents.
