All causation is initially demonstrated in correlation; the correlation is then further investigated to understand the mechanism, proving the causation.

Correlation is the first step. What's so infuriating about the argument about the VAERS data isn't that there is necessarily causation. The correlation is just that, a correlation. BUT significant correlation warrants investigation! I would have been open to an argument about whether this correlation had some "third-party" cause. What totally convinces me that is not the case, however, is that the "vaccine" proponents didn't make that argument; instead they flatly refused even to discuss the possibility. It is this response as much as the original correlation which tells me absolutely these jabs are in fact lethal.

You can do it both ways.

  1. Notice a correlation then investigate the causation.

  2. Discover a causation and then examine resultant correlations.

Example of the latter case: You discover a genetic polymorphism that affects certain molecular functions, then examine clinical data to see how polymorphisms of this gene affects various diseases and prognoses.
