COVID Vaccine Hesitancy and Risk of a Traffic Crash

https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(22)00822-1/fulltext

Background

Coronavirus disease (COVID) vaccine hesitancy,

is a reflection of psychology that might also contribute to traffic safety.

So
People that take covid vaccines are the sort of people who have less traffic accidents

People who do not take covid vaccines are the sort of people who have more traffic accidents

Methods
Population-based longitudinal cohort analysis of adults

Determined COVID vaccination status from electronic medical records

Traffic crashes requiring emergency medical care

Subsequently identified accidents from all (178) hospitals

One month follow-up

Results, (2021)

N = 11,270,763

Total traffic accidents, 6,682

Unvaccinated, 16%

Vaccinated, 84%

Unvaccinated individuals

1,682 traffic crashes (25%)

Equal to a 72% increased relative

Confidence interval, (95%) 63% to 82%

(P less than 0.001)

What about

Socioeconomic status

Alcohol

Sleep apnea

Diabetes

Depression

Dementia

Hypertension

Cancer

Covid infection

Equal to a 48% increase after adjustment

Confidence interval, (95%) 40% to 57%

(P less than 0.001)

The increased risks extended across the spectrum of crash severity

Results similar for Pfizer, Moderna, or other vaccines

Conclusions

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.

Factors

Distrust of government

Belief in freedom

Misconceptions of everyday risks

Faith in natural protection

Antipathy toward regulation

Chronic poverty

Exposure to misinformation

Political identity

Negative past experiences

Limited health literacy

Social networks, misgivings around public health guidelines

Primary care physicians who wish to help patients avoid becoming traffic statistics,

could take the opportunity to stress standard safety reminders such as wearing a seatbelt, obeying speed limits, and never driving drunk

Paramedics, should be aware that unvaccinated patients are overrepresented in the aftermath of a traffic crash.

Driver insurance policies in the future

Together, the findings suggest that unvaccinated adults need to be careful indoors with other people and outside with surrounding traffic.

But

Unvaccinated in Canada could not use, planes, trains, buses

https://covid19-sciencetable.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Science-Brief_Vaccines-in-Essential-Workers_20210423_published2.pdf

Vaccinated more likely to work remotely in Ontario in 2021

‘Essential workers’ had lower vaccination rates

(several pile ups in ice and bad weather)

Over 65s do not commute

So
Staying at home reduces the chances of being in an accident

Invalid title

Patient in emergency department as a driver, passenger, or pedestrian (codes V00-V69)

Total = 6,682

Drivers, 2,856
Passengers, 1,189
Pedestrians, 2,637
(Table 3 of the study)

(Therefore, unvaccinated pedestrians more likely to be in an accidents that vaccinated pedestrians)

People were considered unvaccinated for the first 14 days after vaccination

Given the study only lasted a month, this is half of the time.

So how many casualties were misclassified?

If 602 of the 6,682 were misclassified,

Any difference between the two groups would vanish (Igor Chudov)

Deaths at Scene

Excluded

42 deaths at scene

8 deaths were included

(550 people were actually admitted to hospital)

Therefore 84% of death outcomes ignored

This also excluded all sudden deaths that resulted in an accident

What about people not in the system

Dr Clare Craig

Unvaccinated typically underestimated

Therefore

Rate of incidence of anything overestimated in the unvaccinated

Rate of incidence of anything underestimated in the vaccinated

E.g. Covid cases, hospitalisations, deaths, car accidents

Or indeed, anything else

Forest plot

In all subgroups the risk is increased by the same amount (possible systematic bias)

  1. <sarcasm> they actually hide the Truth® from us in this study. The sole and only source of all traffic accidents are those disgusting (this is new scientific medical terminology according to next ICD edition) white non-punctured supremacist males. Getting them punctured with Medication is not enough – they must be sterilized, gender-tuned, color-changed and their drivers license must be terminated. They must also grow horns, tails (preferably two) and start hating Put'n if they still don't. Brave New World. </sarcasm>

  2. Haha I’m Canadian and apparently if we refuse the jab we need to go on psych drugs. According to the Ontario govt. You can’t make this shit up here in Canada 😂 and sadly people are lining up for more. Wake up

  3. Vaccination status in Canada is not in the public record. Police and auto insurers do not ask about vaccination status. They either lied or obtained vaccination status illegally.

  4. What a load of rubbish. Not only are the people involved in that "study" either completely incompetent or have vested interests making them intentionally negligent but its also supposedly peer reviewed?
    There are so many obvious holes in this that any peer should have immediately told them it was nonsense and not put their name to it.
    My opinion is that everyone involved (including the publisher) should be on a list as an untrustworthy source and never be taken at their word again.
    How are we supposed to trust the medical community with bare faced falsehoods like this being printed in what are supposedly reputable papers?
    Common sense tells you its wrong and their lack of proof backs that up.
    It makes me wonder how the people who's names are attached to this tripe ever got the letters after their names.

  5. Death at the scene being ignored too – which group is more likely to succumb to accident trauma – the ill and therefore more likely to be vaccinated or the ones more likely to be on their way to work?

  6. Another thing to think about is in the early vaccine days they were offered to more vulnerable groups first. I would suggest a lot more vaccinated would be people not commuting than unvaccinated – especially at that time. Then there is the lack of accounting for mileage, accounting for undeclared underlying conditions (since if one group is generally less well they are much more likely to have other conditions or age which would be why they got offered the vaccine in the first place).

    As for them getting 11 million people's results and there being no mistakes? I think we all know how realistic that is. Sounds like they got it from the same place as the most popular president in US history got his votes.

  7. Up until “…get a covid vaccine and you’ll be less likely to have an RTA…” I was prepared to keep an open mind. Why on earth would they reach that conclusion?

  8. They are saying this bc they don’t want people to fear the sudden death behind the wheel of a car, plane, or train….but there is reason to fear the vaxxed behind any wheel!!

  9. I had the vaccine and I turned into a newt!!! A newt I tell you!!! Least if a leg falls off it will grow back…… even more shocking a friend had the vaccine and was exposed to the virus a number of times…and he did NOT get sick… this vaccine is voodoo magic.. it seems to keep you from getting sick!!! We need to stop this right now!!!! Mother nature did not invent RNA… RNA is dangerous.. it makes proteins!!!! Stop this production of proteins!!!! Big pharma is behind proteins!!!! I know John will figure out a way of getting all proteins out of our bodies and save us all!!!! John save us!!!!!!

  10. The neurologically damaged, vaccinated, were less likely to have an accident? The paper is fear and revenge driven. You are more likely yo have an accident near to home than many miles away.

  11. Maybe there is a relationship with getting/not getting the vaccine and the very trendy gender identity issues of late? I reckon those who identify as a attack helicopter didn't get the vax, so that must mean people are crazy for not getting the vax if in such we were identifying as an attack helicopter at that time. Sounds helicopter-phobic to me. I would not trust someone who identifies as a drunk to drive, that's for sure.

  12. It is truly incredible the depths the proponents of the jab will go….if you are a child that has no risk….get the jab…get two or three…if you have natural immunity….get the jab…get two or three….it is evil in all aspects

  13. They're pushing for if you're not vaccinated then you're not going to be able to drive and have a driver's license. They'll be more illegal drivers out there.

  14. Have they gone totally mad???
    Can people become scientists with no sense at all?
    As if NOT having a vaccine can cause you to have accidents.
    It's the manipulating of statistics, in a pretty obscene manner.

  15. Hot take: you need both types of people in this world. People that say, "Damn the risk! I want to LIVE!" and the people that say, "wait a minute, there's a risk, and I want to live." The subtle distinction here is important. The risk takers push us forward, and the safetyists keep us from falling off a cliff as we progress. The great yin and yang that is the human experience. Of course, the wisest people can balance both.

  16. I read that last week. I noticed that it said everyone was eligible for a license but it didn’t say anything about weather they were drivers or not. I think it also said that most of the unvaccinated who died were above 60. I wish we could know if the vaccinated were drivers. I need to reread it.

  17. Had a totally dumb crash – my fault, thank God nobody hurt "only" 2 cars destroyed – on the day my horse had to die – happened 15th of March 2020, at the very start of the p(l)andemic and long before vax was available and forced unto us. So maybe that was a forboding sign of me staying unruly and unvaxxxxed to this day???? Or typical for me to drive over stop signs? NOPE I DO NOT DO THAT under normal circumstances.
    That day I was very preoccupied and therefore distracted about many things, like the upcoming talk about the killer pest and so on and my poor old animal that had hurt itself and would not heal but suffer. No excuse, of course, to cause an accident. Just describing.

    Interesting thought, isn't it? Or utter nonsense and another try just to split up folks against each other?

  18. The sheer fact that the unvaccinated were not allowed to use public transport straightaway skews the figures, especially taking into account the Canadian weather where snow, ice & slippery roads exists. One of the other very major things left out was to not include deaths at the scene of the accident, simply stupid or you could say deliberately.
