Does quantum mechanics provide a counterexample to the law of causality?

In this video, I consider the claim that quantum field theories show particles can come into existence randomly without cause, and that this is a counterexample to the law of causality.

No. Does it provide a counterexample to philosophy being bullshit? No, it doesn't do that, either. ;-)

Cause and effect.
Cause and effect is omnipresent in our everyday lives, as well as in quantum mechanics.
And if in modern philosophy this concept (cause and effect) causes controversy,
then this is due to a misunderstanding of the essence of quantum mechanics.

It is quite possibly that "cause and effect" in quantum physics is subject to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle

If you accept quantum fluctuation as a cause then okay, but then you would also have to accept that quantum fluctuations could have been the cause of the Universe.
