Anecdotal Fallacy

Using personal stories or isolated examples instead of statistical or scientific evidence. One person's experience does not establish a pattern.

Example

"My neighbor got sick after the 5G tower went up, so 5G must cause illness."

Theories on Conspirafy that exhibit this fallacy

• Chemtrails: Chemical Spraying from Aircraft — "My neighbor got sick when trails were heavy, therefore trails cause illness"
