Are people vaccinated against covid more protected from road accidents …. or not.
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

Here is a joke of a study claiming the unvaccinated are involved in more car accidents.
There's a lot wrong with it.🧵https://t.co/TlV4sQ96vb

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)

Vaccine to drive 😂
My first thought was maybe vaccinated people are becoming less able to drive or not leaving their home as often for fear of getting sick, so there are more non vaccinated (less fearful) people driving hence they would have a higher number of accidents. But who knows was just my first thought. Have a Merry Christmas and go spend it with family vaccinated or not!! Blessings🎄
Well I am very impressed with the level of human endurance, I mean, how much crap will people take before they say enough is enough, and stand up and start revolting. Before you know it we'll be declining insurance for just looking at an anti Vax video and get the masses to agree. Oh my humanity is in great danger of a tyrannical dark age.
What scary to me is that they are associated with the University of Toronto !
How to cover up a crime against humanity – Keep on with the lie , and put it in TV shows like New Amsterdam .
Correlation is ALWAYS causation, everyone knows that
Despite being a scientific paper it does not contain science 😅
I have to stop watching I feel dumber!!
Covid stupid kills
I wonder if unjabbed folks are more likely to be in a car crash because the jabbed folks are still afraid to leave their house? 🤷🏻♀️
Man hit by car.
Cause of death: covid?
😐
Then why are you vaccinated 3 times ??????
Complete waste of research dollars.
DIED SUDDENLY ON RUMBLE! APPALLING! THESE MURDERERS, MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!
Just shows how corrupt the system is.
Who paid the study? That’s my question. In my country what we see is people having strokes while driving and losing control of buses etc
DISGRACEFUL!!!
Yes more accidents because the UNVAXXED were NOT allowed on airplanes & other transportations!
So more people had to drive; flying was not an option!
RUBBISH 🗑!!!!
I wonder who funded this appalling, desperate and judgemental study?
Did they take into account geographical location with this study? Let's get the actual stat of accidents per 100K miles driven by both the vaccinated and unvaccinated, because that'll take actual miles driven into account, rather than just will or won't you get in an accident. For example, a guy that commutes 100 miles per day has a much greater chance of getting into an accident than the guy that only drives a 10 mile round trip.
This is just positioning for for more suppression and control and taking away freedom… totally ridiculous… not science…but also totally indicates their motives… people need to wake up if not already there…
Sounds like governmental propaganda bs to me.
My guess is they want to associate freedom, not trusting govt & the rest with non vaccination for coronavirus…more slander propaganda.
Insurance companies will try to use this to give people a “vaccine discount”😂
How absolutely ridiculous. This is farcical and they are just trying to ostracize and villainise people that don't have the poisonous vaccine
it is NOT, I repeat, is NOT a vaccine, quit spreading misinformation
Combine this study with the study showing that republicans die off more than democrats and you have a real casserole of misinformation or rather twistinformation since there is misleading kernels of truth in these idiotic research papers 🤦♀️
