surely the proof would be in the announcement of the link, because anything else would just be crazy?

In the memo on Friday, Dr. Vinay Prasad claimed a new review of records linked 10 children’s deaths to the Covid vaccine. “These deaths are related to vaccination (likely/probable/possible attribution made by staff," Prasad wrote. What to know about the new CDC deputy director who has been critical of COVID vaccines No information about how the conclusions were reached was shared in the memo, nor were they made public or published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Everyone, "If it's true, show us and that's that. It is true."

Anything from the Trump administration, "Trust us."

"Yeah, or no trust even needed, just show us."

"No. Just trust us."

"Ooooor... How about just show us?

"No. Stop being ridiculous."

The default stance is always; it is not real if there is no evidence to the claim. It's not like it's about who's right and who's wrong—it'd be cool if Santa were real—its just that belief is pretending something is real when nothing has been shown to indicate it. People that are happy with "trust me, bro" are wayward.

These deaths are related to vaccination

After getting vaccinated, little Jimmy was hit by a car outside the pharmacy.

Nah man, the magnetic field from the vaccine attracts cars, that's just science. -Joe Rogaine
