Statistical certainty is often hard to nail down. But there is some correlation with vaccines on this matter.
What you should ask is, if there were connections, would we hear about it in the media? Do they even do investigative journalism anymore? What did we hear when we invaded Iraq? Did we hear it was all about oil? Did we hear the recent history of the region, about the discovery of oil in Iran, the nationalization kicking out the French and British, and the CIA coup and installation of the Shah in 1953? Did we hear about that when they took hostages in 1979?
We don't hear a lot of things in our media, completely corporatist, with information regarding these things, and wars, coming straight from the DOD/Pentagon experts.
I think that is what various deniers of everything miss. We didn't hear accurate information about the Tonkin incident in Vietnam either. We've got the corporate left, and the corporate right--both are corporate, both serve the government.
