A Comparison of Statistical Correlation and Causation
This image features a social media exchange that uses a satirical comparison to address the logical fallacy of confusing correlation with causation. The first user presents a claim linking the rise in autism diagnoses over time to vaccines. The second user responds by presenting a parallel set of statistics regarding the increase in identified Near Earth Asteroids between 1960 and 2026, concluding with the ironic statement that 'telescopes cause asteroids.' The post serves as a commentary on how increased detection and diagnostic capabilities can lead to higher recorded numbers without implying a direct causal relationship between the tools of observation and the phenomena being observed.
Not really a good comparison. The number and power of telescopes is directly related to observations of asteroids.
OP is definitely a covidiot.
People having kids later in life probably played a factor as well.
Zero autism in amish
I got no numbers but according to the comments a majority of people (and I'm using this term lightly) here are mentally challenged. Ergo: 9GAG fries your brain
Every behavior that doesn't fit the "dumbass worker drone people" is considered some sort of mental illness by now...
Just saying. The science [truth] get in the way of a good story.
Autists find asteroids though.
Don't know about the vaccines, but the shit we are eating definitely changed for worse in the last 50 years.
The criteria for an astroid has never changed. The criteria for autism certainly has. When I was in school they believed only males could have autism. There was no spectrum
