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.”

I’m going to guess that the unvaccinated are heavily concentrated in truck driving and other vehicle related jobs, also rural areas and farming and that just skews the numbers.

It’s really just the same old dirty jobs vs office grunt divide.

I don’t remember any power linemen being threatened with job loss for refusing vaccination, wonder why?

It could be more women taking the jab drive much less than men.

Remember when the Remoaners claimed Britain was going to suffer from “super gonorrhoea”?

“Brexit could lead to spread of infectious diseases such as super-gonorrhoea, health chief warns”

This is the same level as that. The propaganda is so shrill and so obviously false all you can do is laugh at those peddling it.

at one point it was being reported that urban minorities were the number 1 group not getting the vax.

The older a person is the more likely they are to be vaccinated by a large margin. Older Americans drive fewer miles by a large margin. Older Americans also have fewer accidents per mile.

Batcrap lunatics, all of them.

I’m more worried about the anoxic idiots wearing masks in their cars while driving.

One such idiot nearly took me out one day by swerving into my lane, wearing her N95 all alone in the car.

Head on collisions from oxygen deprived paranoiacs worry me more than than this insanity.

I had considered taking the MRNA as the riskier option.
