    The real reason though, those scientist trained hacks are signing on to what they are paid to, to design studies to work backwards from poisoning the population is actually totally safe.

    But yes.

      The other month in our field some random team published a paper where they surveyed people sick with a chronic illness and people who had recovered from that illness. They found the recovered people had better mental health than those who were ill.

      The authors in all their wisdom decided that means mental health causes the illness. It apparently didn’t cross their mind that being chronically ill is not fun so you have worse mental health and being recovered is comparatively great so you have better mental health.

      Now some right wing chuds are citing this silly study to try and paint the illness as fake.

      “Guys! It’s the scientists who are bad!” said the smartest person in the room

      A point which he arrived at through correlation, without citing any causation.

      Curious.

        Gtfo of here, we should all know trade groups hire agencies to construct studies from it’s cool to reach that conclustion.

        You are either ignorant and given to trolling people you think (often incorrectly,) have made some offense, or a fucking moron.

        Now piss off.
