[Fortune] People who skipped their COVID vaccine are at higher risk of traffic accidents, according to a new study
By Erin Prater
Apparently Erin didn't study much
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.
Oh got it, encrypted Canadian intel, got to be true, on their planet
They claim 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 (and passed out on the sofa). 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 pretended.

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."

Why would they ignore the rules of the road? Distrust of the government, a belief in freedom, misconceptions of daily risks, "faith in natural protection," "antipathy toward regulation," poverty, misinformation, a lack of resources, and personal beliefs are potential reasons made up- lied proposed by the authors.

#8  The phrase is "died suddenly" not "suddenly dead", get your damn memes right. They don't propagate unless you do them correctly.

Distrust of the government, oh my goodness gracious. Remember how the left were 100% distrustful of the government the moment Trump was in control of it? And then in a 1984-style "we have always been at war with Eurasia" moment they flipped when Biden cheated and seized the White House.

#7  It's important to remember, the more convoluted and tortured the logic, the more it appeals to a certain class of "intellectual."

More statistics wrangling by lazy, dishonest motherfcukers in the service of their establishment. Study indeed.

#4  Many who took the covid vaccine are afraid to leave their home let alone get in a car.

I'm curious about the safety records of those who drive alone with a mask on.

#3  They've fallen into the old logic trap of correlation equaling causation

#2  I heard that 100% of all serial killers at one time drank water. Better stop drinking it and stay away from that stuff!

#1  Do the numbers also include those who are "suddenly dead"?
