Steve Kirsch recently posted a graph about COVID deaths and wants folks to think that it correlates with getting a COVID vaccine, forgetting that correlation doesn't equal causation...

[link removed] Why did Kirsch ( [link removed] ) leave out cumulative COVID cases?

Or to be more accurate - correlation does not imply causation.

That Time Steve Kirsch Announced He Didn't Understand Correlation Doesn't Equal Causation...

A lot of folks demonstrated that correlation does not imply causation during COVID.

[link removed] A strong correlation between a FIFA team's ranking and their country's COVID ranking doesn't mean that one caused the other...

And it certainly doesn't in the example posted by Steve Kirsch ( [link removed] ) , who simply compared cumulative vaccine doses and COVID deaths. Of course, both of these things are going to keep rising. Every new vaccine dose and COVID death will get added to the last until you stop counting.

[link removed] Steve Kirsch ( [link removed] ) left out the cumulative data on COVID cases for some reason.

But while correlation does not imply causation, sometimes correlation does show correlation.

As The Real Truther ( [link removed] ) notes in his example above, you can see a big correlation between a rise in COVID deaths and cases of COVID.

In New Zealand, COVID cases began to rise in February 2021.

And so did COVID deaths!

Many of whom were unvaccinated!

> "Vaccination is one of the most effective steps people can take to reduce their risk of death from COVID-19. The analysis shows a 62% reduction in the risk of death from COVID-19 among people who had two or more doses compared to those who had received one dose or no doses. There is evidence that boosters further reduce the risk of death from COVID-19, and this will be the subject of future study."

Now there is a correlation for you to think about!
