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.
Edited now
Ok, so you're just going to repeat yourself? That doesn't answer the question of whether or not you understood my point...
I'm thinking that yeah, it means you didn't get my point.
I had already edited my own post in the hopes of helping you understand my point. So please feel free to read it if you do wish to understand my point.
