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 guess I need to buy a motorcycle helmet and put it on while driving my car.”
I did that back in my Demo-Derby days. I don’t think it’s illegal to do so on the street either.
“People who skipped their COVID vaccine”
Interesting choice of words, kind of like skipping school? Particularly when they could just as easily say “Unvaccinated persons”.
(this is how the media works on us)
Not a joke. Fake research to enable a government to pull the driver licenses of those refusing further Covid innoculations. I would just love to see the research data on this znd how it was correlated. Really smells bogus to me.
Come get your “New and Improved” innoculations and join your friends and loved ones in the unexplained deaths column. Don’t you think it is mighty peculiar that in the face of all theses unexplained deaths that medical authorities just “don’t understand” what is staring them right in the face? Where is the giant research program to understand all these mega-deaths? You tell me. Spit.
What BS.
One can look for a common cause to explain correlation.
The highest vaxxed age group is likely retirees, who may or may not have a lower traffic accident rate—for every awful senior citizen driver out there, there are likely two or three who have given up their licenses or no longer even own a car.
I imagine that the unvaxxed are a combination of people willing to take risks and people who are very conservative—I would describe myself as both, in different ways.
They also are not, I think, the sorts of people who stay locked up at home.
The data point is interesting, but more digging is needed to explain what is going on.
That's a blast to watch.
“Instead, the authors theorize that people who resist public health recommendations might also “neglect basic road safety guidelines.”
Oh...I...AM...so...sick...of....this.
Or young adults are both less likely to be jabbed and more likely to drive like young fools.
Or older people (more liable to get the jab) are more liable to drive cars built like tanks (survive crashes).
Or young people (less liable to be jabbed) are more liable to be driving in town (more crashes) than older retired people in the countryside.
These data suggest that COVID vaccine hesitancy is associated with significant increased risks of a traffic crash. An awareness of these risks might help to encourage more COVID vaccination.
Yet another BS talking point to try and get this mRNA stuff into every human on the planet. Is it just for the money? The control? Some biotech use in the future?
apples and oranges, right??
It could be true. I think people who skipped the vaccines were not likely to sit in their houses for 2 years with their masks on. I certainly didn’t.
Show me the age groups.
So, teenagers and 20-somethings (who have almost zero risk from Covid) get into more injury accidents than age 40+ drivers?
Not exactly shocking.
Perhaps you’re dead already - of COVID, of course.
Did they check to see if the non jabbed are just more likely to be driving places?
I imagine this didn't end well for some people.
How odd that SOMEONE would look at that correlation?
Qui bono?
I refused the vaxx, my wife is double vaxx and booster.
She was involved in a “total loss” auto accident just last month.
I OTOH, haven’t had any type of accident since before the “COVID vaxx era”.
Researches will discount this as “anecdotal”.
Why don't they "study" Sudden Adult Death Syndrome?

Thousands of comedians are out of work because the stuff they make up is nowhere near as crazy as the stuff the federal government and their butt-licking media make up.
