Covid Jab Hesitancy and Car Crashes - We Have Study for That!

Would you believe it!

The Big News of the Day is the “study” “COVID Vaccine Hesitancy and Risk of a Traffic Crash” (American Journal of Medicine, 2022.12.02), by University of Toronto, no less:

Coronavirus disease (COVID) vaccine hesitancy is a reflection of psychology that might also contribute to traffic safety.

We included adults age 18 years or more on July 31, 2021 to ensure that each was eligible for a regular driver's license and a COVID vaccine.

Results

A total of 11,270,763 individuals were included, of whom 16% had not received a COVID vaccine and 84% had received a COVID vaccine. The cohort accounted for 6682 traffic crashes during follow-up. Unvaccinated individuals accounted for 1682 traffic crashes (25%), equal to a 72% increased relative risk compared with those vaccinated (95% confidence interval, 63-82; P < 0.001). 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 (95% confidence interval, 40-57; P < 0.001). The increased risks extended across the spectrum of crash severity, appeared similar for Pfizer, Moderna, or other vaccines, and were validated in supplementary analyses of crossover cases, propensity scores, and additional controls.

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.

If it looks and smells like a red herring, it’s because it is!

Fist off, the “study” admits that the most unvaccinated by Jul. 2021 were younger adults:

Just by coincidence, this is the category of drivers most prone to car accidents. And would you believe it, people 65+ with no jabs had fewer accidents than the jabbed, in August 2021:

Why is it not in the headlines? And, just maybe, many of those 18-39, and 40-64, that recently got the jab were too sick to drive? Quite plausible in August 2021. Or! Many of those that just got the jab in August 2021 were counted as unvaccinated, while driving under the influence of fresh mRNA jabs rushing through their systems? Whereas those 65+ got their jabs a few months back and hit the road the wrong way? There may be many other confounding factors to bear. And, given the thrust of the study, I would be highly suspicious of way they cooked the numbers, given that they had to produce the ordered upfront result. Given the study has been submitted in November 2022, the most peculiar is the choice of the study period - the single month of August 2021. Something tells me that they have tried to find a time period that would fit the narrative, and the only one that did was just that one lonely month. Prove me wrong! I wonder how these stats look recently, given the fact that an mRNA jab easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and affects the central nervous system. As the reader stickdog noticed buried in Table1 is the fact that as of Aug., 2021, the Covid-“vaccinated” had higher propensity to catch Covid than the unjabbed, fancy that:

So goes the myth about the pandemic of the unvaccinated.

But one thing is certain: it takes some seriously deviant mind to concoct a study like this. Perhaps, this observation from the reader Moonspinner can explain it:

The lead author of that ridiculous study -- Donald Redelmeier -- appears to be a favorite of the Davos crowd. Here's an article at the WEF website that praises Redelmeier for his research proving the "peak-end rule": "people's memories of painful experiences are more positive if the painful activity ends in a mildly less painful manner, even if the overall discomfort is prolonged." It appears such "insights" were used as part of the Covid psyop -- slowly lessen the tyranny over time, and people are more willing to be bamboozled into a future "plandemic":

Our reader DF hit the nail on the head:

I may have already written this, so if I did, sorry, but according to commentator John Campbell (who by the way has been red-pilled and announced on his Rumble channel that the injection campaign should be stopped or at least suspended), all deaths at the scene of a crash were EXCLUDED from the study. And a whopping 84% of the deaths during the month of the study were at the scene of the crash and therefore EXCLUDED from the study. Keep in mind that deaths at the scene are most likely to happen when a person died, fainted or had a cardiac incident while driving and that is what cause the accident.

And here’s another take on this issue from Igor Chudov:

The Unvaccinated Had More Car Crashes... Because they Were the Ones Driving!
