One of the many informal fallacies is post hoc ergo propter hoc.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc (Latin: “after this, therefore, because of this”) is an informal fallacy that states: “Since event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X.” It is often shortened simply to post hoc fallacy. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc
| Event X [CAUSE] | Event Y [EFFECT] |
| The rooster crowed—————————–> | and the sun came up |
| therefore the rooster [thought————> | he] made the sun come up |
| ————————————————————> | Since event Y |
| followed event X,———————————> | event Y must have been caused |
| by event X | |
| ————————————————————> | Since deaths |
| followed corona virus————————–> | deaths must have been caused |
| by corona virus | |
| ————————————————————> | But the EFFECT does not prove |
| the CAUSE |
Notes:
1. The usual way the second part of the rooster illustration is presented is “therefore the rooster made the sun come up.” The addition of “thought he” was mine as I taught this in class.
2. Ordinarily, there are many deaths daily, but attributing an inflated number of deaths to a particular virus, whether it be genuine or fake, is simply taking advantage of a worldwide state-educated population that lacks the basic tool of logic.
3. There are other causes of the deaths now being associated with the corona virus, a fact that is ably pointed out by Jon Rappoport in numerous articles.
4. Is this a globalist-socialist grand experiment to see how far they can get the mass stupidity of the herd mentality to accomplish their agenda to subject the world population to complete control and robotic status, or is this the first stage of the final act to do so?
