I love you cited that obvious bit of propaganda - 'may cause'. Catching Covid-19 'may cause' your dick to become physically larger. Climate change 'may cause' brighter summers, better agricultural conditions at polar latitudes and a happier populous. Communism 'may cause' sight loss

COVID may cause you to have X-ray vision or may cause your head to explode.

The choice is yours.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Do we have to go through the meaning of "may cause" in this context?

It means "will cause, in some cases."

Not "we don't know if it's related."

Jesus please us.

I'm guessing this is your same response you give to the people worried about blood clots two of the vaccines gave lol

kinda hard to point to a few rare cases as a reason to get it when people are using the same fear mongering logic to justify doing the opposite

The difference between correlation and causality is apparently difficult for some people to understand. So yes, maybe we ought to go through it, for your benefit.

Are you suggesting that there's some confounding factor that causes both CoVID and erectile dysfunction?

Or are you suggesting that erectile dysfunction causes CoVID?

Because neither of those have the biological plausibility of CoVID causing erectile dysfunction.
