I suppose what’s needed is to look at data from other countries and see if the data is similar. They’ve found a correlation but, as anybody remotely versed in science should know, correlation does not imply causation

You’re absolutely right. Looking at data from multiple countries would help show whether the pattern holds or if it’s just a local coincidence. Correlation can point us toward questions, but it’s never proof of causation on its own, that requires much deeper analysis.👌
