Explain, please? (ignorance here)
Sorry. I spelled "buy" incorrectly. And my Latin was incorrect. I am a mess.
The article says claiming the rise in C19 cases has something to do with the introduction of the vaccine is a fallacy. Specifically, "post hoc ergo propter hoc". I disagree with that. I also think it is deflection.
If we take all those data from all those countries showing the same pattern, there is a strong correlation. It is worthy of investigation to see if there is some sort of causality. I would bet there is. But to flatly disregard the data and dismiss any inquiry as chasing a fallacy is the definition of deflection. IMHO.
