reminds me of the correlation that every mass shooter was on SSRIs
as if SSRIs are just randomly prescribed to completely well adjusted people
SSRIs are specifically prescribed to people who do not want to live so to say that all mass shooters are on SSRIs is basically like saying "all people involved in murder-suicides are suicidal"
WOW, what a revelation !
sadly this still counts as profound insight among right wingers ...
i will concede, however that there is a difference between suicide and murder-suicide and SSRIs *may* in fact be uniquely triggering mass shootings but if you're going to use that correlation as evidence you have to adjust for the fact that they were suicidal to begin with before they went on SSRIs ...
just like how you have to adjust for the fact that people on Statins may have been unhealthy before they started the drug ...
but Statins aren't prescribed for things like chest pain. they are prescribed for high cholesterol.
