Study: People who skipped their COVID vaccine are at higher risk of traffic accidents

[Revoltingest]

To my knowledge insurance isn't involved.
Its the authors theorize that people who resist public health recommendations might also “neglect basic road safety guidelines.”

It's normal to find correlations, & then speculate
about the nature of them, & causes. This in turn
inspires further research.
It's not bad research just because some people
take offense at the results & possible causes.

So the results should be near the same for people who have unsafe sex, don't wash their hands after using the bathroom, smokers, drinkers, skydivers, rock climbers, etc. Any "risk" takers being they are correlating it with risk.

.Not necessarily "near the same". I do not think that anyone claimed that. "Similar" would be a better term. People do not tend to be inconsiderate to others in just one part of their life. It is usually a broad spectrum event. There may be places where an individual is considerate of others. A person may wash his hands, but speed, not wear a seat belt, etc..

Plus one has to be careful in such studies. If one takes a lot of traits and considers them all equally the conclusions could be misleading. The more traits that are mentioned the more likely it is that some of the boxes will be ticked. That is why studies like this try to limit the traits being compared.

How do you know they're made up?

Because no one can believe anyone would do a study this stupid without a pre decided agenda.

Those things could be researched too.
It all depends upon what inspires someone
as significant. Rock climbers & skydivers
are much fewer in number than non-vaxers.
So I don't expect them to appear in research.

So you it's pretty much the same standard
that Trump did to claim a stolen election, ie,
disliking the results.
The study appears to have practical usage,
eg, auto insurers setting rates for drivers.
Anti-vaxers are gonna hate this, eh.
"You can't charge me more just because
I'm a higher risk of accidents!"

I theorize that the people who do these " studies" are the same ones who would cough on you deliberately if they were sick.

There, I just did a study.

You lose by bringing Trump into the conversation.

Well I am RF's biggest loser.
Nonetheless, the parallel is cromulent.
You've no evidence at all....just displeasure.

 

[Alien826]

I don't have unsafe sex. That makes me very responsible.

Wait a minute, I don't have any sex. Does that still count?

 

[Audie]

Doesn't sound like the most solid study, I agree.

" garbage"

Oh my. Dunning Kruger alert!!

Let's assume that most of those avoiding COVID vaccination are younger. Younger drivers also have more driving accidents and traffic violations. So avoidance of vaccine taking is merely associative with their traffic accidents. But their being young is the causation.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I would like to know who funded the study to see if they have any gain from it.

Follow the money. There you find the answers.

Then the study would be flawed if they did not take age into consideration. I did not read the article on the study. Do you know whether they did this or not?

What if they took age into consideration and the study still had the same results?

OK. Mystery is solved.


They will twist anything these days to feed the public a line.

 

[The Hammer]

I wonder who funds these studies?

No one probably.

Could be a study by a college student, doing a meta analysis of available research.

Sounds super trustworthy!

 

[Rival]

As I'm not vaccinated and have not learned to drive, I am definitely more at risk of a car accident.

I am not sure these are related..........

 

[The Hammer]

I mean. Yeah.

It certainly can be trustworthy. Not always. But there are rules and ethics followed.

I wouldn't really care if you disagree with it.
