People who skipped their Covid vaccine are at higher risk of traffic accidents
- tamaharbor 4y agoWow, what CAN’T the covid vaccine do?
- Khelavaster 4y agoWonder why they didn't account for distance people drove at all. Nondrivers are probably disproportionately likely to get COVID vaccines compared to high-mileage drivers in the same ZIP code... "The increased traffic risks among unvaccinated individuals extended to diverse subgroups, was similar to the relative risk associated with sleep apnea, and was equal to a 48% increase after adjustment for age, sex, home location, socioeconomic status, and medical diagnoses."
- version_five 4y ago> First responders may also consider taking precautions to protect themselves from COVID when responding to traffic crashes, the authors added, as it’s more likely that a driver is unvaccinated than vaccinated. Someone doesn't understand statistics. It attributes this to the study's authors though. Am I missing something? (Beyond the obvious that vaccination doesn't stop you from getting or spreading covid so worrying about whether someone else is is meaningless xenophobia)
