If you passed on getting the COVID vaccine, you might be a lot more likely to get into a car crash.
Or at least those are the findings of a new study published this month in The American Journal of Medicine. During the summer of 2021, Canadian researchers examined the encrypted government-held records of more than 11 million adults, 16% of whom hadn’t received the COVID vaccine.
They found that the unvaccinated people were 72% more likely to be involved in a severe traffic crash—in which at least one person was transported to the hospital—than those who were vaccinated. That’s similar to the increased risk of car crashes for people with sleep apnea, though only about half that of people who abuse alcohol, researchers found.
The excess risk of car crash posed by unvaccinated drivers “exceeds the safety gains from modern automobile engineering advances and also imposes risks on other road users,” the authors wrote.
Of course, skipping a COVID vaccine does not mean that someone will get into a car crash. Instead, the authors theorize that people who resist public health recommendations might also “neglect basic road safety guidelines.”

I thought the Bee had struck again. Sadly, that was not the case. These people are nuts!
report paid for by?
fake created news.
What can’t CONvid vaccines do? My clothes are brighter now too.
I don’t know the stats but at one point it was being reported that urban minorities were the number 1 group not getting the vax.
Where are the traffic accident stats highest?
Just asking. I dont know.
This seems like a HUUUUUUGE stretch to imply being a cause-and-effect relationship between the vax and accidents. There can be a million coexisting statistics between them
I thought climate change was to blame for increased traffic accidents.
Reckless behavior patterns exhibit in lots of ways.
The Vaxxed are self destructing.
Figures lie, and liars figure.
Lemme guess…. From scientists who don’t know the difference esteem x and chromosomes.
We are being programmed but for what purpose?
So state the obvious - getting a vaccine prevents you from being in an accident. Who knew? I bet that your risk of syphillis probably goes down by at least 15% as well.
Urban minorities often don’t own cars. Keeps their driving rates down. Also, this is a Canadian study, where the demographics are quite different.
Correlation and not causation?
Perhaps, if you’re so afraid of COVID that you’re afraid to leave your house, then you’re less likely to be involved in an auto accident?
The unvaxxed are at higher risk of traffic accidents...
Because they are laughing at the fools who drive alone wearing a mask.
Makes sense... people who live in fear stay home wearing their masks and are not on the highways.
And your whites “are whiter than white!”/sarc.
The Covid vaccinated died “unexpectantly” in their beds.
Correlation does not prove causation.
