The health experts said: If we hold a massive bike rally in South Dakota where most mitigation efforts are ignored, then it will cause a massive surge of cases in that region. They held a rally and a massive surge happened and is still happening.

Deniers respond: It would have happened anyway.

We had one or two of them say, literally, exactly that in another thread.
I’m sure many of you remember this argument from the other thread:

So basically you can NOT just point to the Sturgis Rally and go “SEE, SEE, look how that event caused all more cases in the state”. The two do NOT go together. The state was due for an increase and they got it.
