    So… someone went through a great deal of trouble to share this. Why? I’m confused. What is the message and the audience? Is there something I am supposed to do?

      One example is anti-vaxxers claiming vaccines are causing the increase in autism. When challenged, one possible response they parrot is “well then what is the cause?”. The message is that there isn’t a cause because there isn’t an increase in the first place

        Between Trump, Palestine, Russia, Ukraine… I just ain’t got time for one other thing. Not this. If there’s nothing I can even imagine doing about this, why is it my business?

          Why is what your business? What do you think anyone is asking of you?

          You’re the one who asked for an explanation of the post.

      The message is correcting a misconception utilizing a concept most people would understand better. It isn’t a call to action, just informational.
