...science says unvaccinated have many problems in life
Ok, we'll make another study. But that's for sure, science says unvaccinated have many problems in life
The proximate causes of most crashes are human behaviors... These behaviors might partially reflect health consciousness, safety mindedness, community spirit, or other psychological characteristics that are difficult to measure in a systematic manner.4,5
Simple immune activation against a coronavirus, for example, has no direct effect on traffic behavior or the risk of a motor vehicle crash.19
Instead, we theorized that individual adults who tend to resist public health recommendations might also neglect basic road safety guidelines.20, 21, 22, 23 The study question was “Does COVID vaccine hesitancy correlate with the risks of a serious traffic crash?”
We studied millions of adults and found that COVID vaccine hesitancy was associated with significant increased traffic risks.
A limitation of our study is that correlation does not mean causality because our data do not explore potential causes of vaccine hesitancy or risky driving.60 One possibility relates to a distrust of government or belief in freedom that contributes to both vaccination preferences and increased traffic risks.61 A different explanation might be misconceptions of everyday risks, faith in natural protection, antipathy toward regulation, chronic poverty, exposure to misinformation, insufficient resources, or other personal beliefs.62 Alternative factors could include political identity, negative past experiences, limited health literacy, or social networks that lead to misgivings around public health guidelines.63,64 These subjective unknowns remain topics for more research.
The current findings can help address 4 common misunderstandings.69 We show the high numbers and the diverse profile of adults who are not vaccinated (Table 1), contrary to claims that COVID vaccine hesitancy is concentrated in men, in poverty, and in rural regions. We validate that vaccination is associated with large reductions in subsequent COVID pneumonia (Table 3), contrary to claims that industry-funded trials are misleading. We document that traffic crashes have continued unabated during the COVID pandemic (Figure 1), contrary to claims that social distancing would lead to fewer traffic fatalities or that one pandemic somehow might replace another. We verify that traffic crashes disproportionately involve those in poverty (Table 2), contrary to claims that traffic safety is unrelated to health disparities.
Echo chambers are boring and don't contribute much to deeper thinking and understanding!
The point isn't even about this specific ludicrous study, but about the narrative and the people pushing it.
