Correlation is not causation?

• rndgermandude 5y ago
  Maybe. Maybe not. Sometimes correlations do in fact point to the causation, it's just that correlation does not necessarily imply causation. In this case, it would be very hard to determine, tho. You cannot just do a controlled experiment on nation-scale economies. What you can do is look at what changed and what changed in likely reaction to it (and you still might be wrong). However, in the pandemic years, a lot more than just immigration numbers changed dramatically, which makes assessing this theory even harder, if not entirely impossible.
