Correlation ≠ Causation

Or as they say in Israel - מתאם ≠ סיבתיות

One of those things about the COVID (longest-running) pandemic (ever) is that those who have bought into the folly that vaccines are “safe and effective” think that by repeating these pithy mantras enough times it makes them true.

Alas, data doesn’t care for pithy mantras. Instead it yearns to be examined when it teases with indications of peculiar goings on.

Data is feeling rather neglected this year.

And then just when you thought you could ignore one set of correlations, another one comes and slaps you in the face.
