The key word here is "imply". Anyone can imply pretty much anything.
Here are some examples (to make it clear, before people start getting upset- I'm not saying these examples are true, I'm using them to make a point):
Autism rates rose at the same rate of microwave use. This implies microwaves cause autism.
Cases of mental retardation have fallen at the same time that childhood vaccinations rose. This implies that childhood vaccines prevent mental retardation.
Amish don't receive routine childhood vaccinations, and they have a higher chance than average to have severe illnesses like Tay-Sachs, Angelman Syndrome, and dwarfism. This implies vaccines prevent these diseases.
I suspect they might
But IMHO they've risen sharply. Sooo many retards
Disagree- they are almost completely healthy
God, not man's actions, cause disease. If kids get sick, it's because they or their parents sinned- which makes it a sin to attempt to prevent it (which is impossible anyway), etc etc
Ok, did you get the point of my post? At all?
I just replied to this person without reading the rest of the thread, I'm sorry for myself for even taking the time after reading other comments. ffs this shit is laughable. I got duped by a shill (or just low IQ). Happens to the best of us I guess. No offense alqaeda.
I looked through some of their comments here, and I'm about 90% convinced that they're trying to make everyone here look like a bunch of ignorant and violent nut jobs.
I would not be surprised at all to find some reddit board that has screen grabs of their most extreme stances, and using it to cast us in a bad light.
Just some of their comments that seem problematic:
And it just goes on and on, with some novella type posts full of stream of consciousness things.
So...yeah. I'm not sure which is worse. This person working so hard to cast us in the worst light possible...or this person being serious and goes on to do something horrible enough to draw public attention on themselves, and then possibly being linked to whatever it is they might do.
Either way, it's not good.

Correlation does imply causation
So...which is it?
Edited to add:
Or are you saying that you think my point was that correlation does not imply causation?
If that is what you're saying, then you've missed my point.
I am pointing out the word imply is important here. It does not mean "prove". It means "to strongly suggest the truth or existence of something."
I'm pointing out that people who are in favor of childhood vaccinations are just as able to apply causation/correlation arguments as we can.
Implying something is not proving that it is a fact.
