Well look at the statistics:
Fluoride:
Autism:
Seems pretty clear cut to me.
/s because people think I posted this in seriousness.
They need to do stuff like this often in HS to show students how you can bullshit truths and make its facade of truth feel legit.
This is, and I don't say this lightly, one of the dumbest conclusions I've ever seen someone jump to.
Might as well say that fluoride in the water caused software developers, lmao.
Satire, I think.
Classic ice cream sales and violent crimes in summer correlation.
It's too much like the real anti-fluoride arguments, man. I can't recognize it, man.
Actually, software developers cause autism
Let's ignore the better diagnosis processes and just take two trending upward statistics and make a broad correlation and call it fact.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic but if not, then I'm about to blow your fucking mind
STOP EATING RICE!
NAME YOUR DAUGHTER SARAH, IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE THE AMAZON! AND WHATEVER YOU DO...
...DO NOT NAME THEM TRISTEN
If we shut down flights to Antarctica, inflation would've been solved yesterday.
Damn, I guess fluoridated water also then caused computers, world population growth and the eradication of polio.
Idk if this is a troll post or this person never heard of the fact that correlation does not equal causation.
Case and point.
