While we wait for an official inquiry into the possible correlation between the COVID vaccine and sudden death syndrome, a more pressing COVID-related probe was recently taken on by a group of Canadians whose research linked vaccine hesitancy with a high likelihood of — are you ready? — traffic accidents.
Research studies are fine, but making a statistical correlation between COVID vaccination and car accidents is about as convincing to the sane as blaming Amtrak derailments on people with toenail fungus or oil spills on tinnitus. What next? Vaccine status will dictate who gets a driver's license? Yup.
Published this month in The American Journal of Medicine, the 2021 study is entitled "Covid Vaccine Hesitancy and Risk of a Traffic Crash." Heading the project, researchers Donald A. Redelmeier, Jonathan Wang, and Deva Thiruchelvam were granted access to 11 million encrypted electronic "government held records." After analyzing the data, the trio concluded that the 1,760,000 Canadian drivers who rebelliously bucked the system by refusing to be treated like lab rats were at a higher risk of causing bloody automobile crashes.
To reach that conclusion, the data considered
a total of 11,270,763 individuals ... of whom 16% had not received a COVID vaccine and 84% had received a COVID vaccine. The cohort accounted for 6,682 traffic crashes during follow-up. Unvaccinated individuals accounted for 1,682 traffic crashes (25%), equal to a 72% increased relative risk compared with those vaccinated (95% confidence interval, 63-82; P < 0.001)[.] ... The increased risks extended across the spectrum of crash severity, appeared similar for Pfizer, Moderna, or other vaccines, and were validated in supplementary analyses of crossover cases, propensity scores, and additional controls.

Cana-DUH. The new laffing stock of the world!
Young people don’t need the vax and crash more.
Grandpa gets the vax and crashes less
Mystery solved.
So vaccinations by themselves turn people into safe drivers?
So vaccinations turn people into safe drivers, and emotional maturity and motor skills are not enough?

The ‘sudden death’ data has been deeply buried along with those who died suddenly.
What blatant pot stirring to rile up anti-vax sentiment among populace.
That was they are expecting the populace to do for them what they can’t do themselves.
I’m sure that they tested for confounding variables. How many miles did the unvaccinated drive on average compared to the vaccinated? What was the average age of the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated?
Maybe that is because the unvaccinated weren’t cowering in their homes in fear of a virus which will not do anything more than make them sick for a few days.
The actual study incuded PEDESTRIANS and PASSENGERS who were injured in automotive accidents as well as drivers of the vehicles.
