4. This is almost assuredly a spurious correlation

Flu vaccines generally have adjuvants in them. Adjuvants, for those with an ApoE4 allele (the "Alzheimer's gene" ), can lead to brain damage and, thus, a greater likelihood of being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. So flu vaccines are contraindicated for those with the "Alzheimer's gene."

This correlation between a person's receiving a flu vaccine and their chance of not being diagnosed with Alzheimer's looks like one of those spurious correlations.


There are all kinds of spurious correlations. For example, did you know that eating organic food causes autism?




Or that Mexican lemon imports prevent highway deaths?





And, most importantly, that it's a pirate shortage that's causing global warming?




We've been going about addressing climate change all wrong!


You know what they say, correlation does not equal causation.
