People who skipped their COVID vaccine are at higher risk of traffic accidents, according to a new study

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.”

Sadly no. You are also more likely to get tooth decay, get hit by falling anvils, fall into quicksand, and be pursued by rabid shrews.

Wellllll, I’m assuming that most car accidents involve young (16-29yo) males. Who are the clot shots killing? Roughly the same demographic. Ergo, the unvaccinated, who are not dying from clot shots, are who are left among young males to have car accidents. Ta Da!

And the vaxxine is “safe and effective” right?

I thought climate change was to blame for increased traffic accidents.

I thought loosened up marijuana laws were to blame for increased traffic accidents.

“Correlation and not causation?”

In the 60’s, the cigarette industry argued there was a higher correlation between amount of the paved US highway system and lung cancer then with smoking cigarettes. We know where that argument went!

Probably a way to charge higher premiums.

Compared to the clot shots, Big Pharma and the conform or be brow beaten crowd the tobacco companies and smokers weren’t all that bad.

I would not doubt that study. People who got the shot are scared, stay inside, travel little, drive slowly. While those who did not get the shot are living life which has risks. Still proves nothing. I would like to see a study of the number who died the 1st month after getting the shot vs those who did not. That’s a valid survey, not one that really has no correlation.
