People who skipped their Covid vaccine are at higher risk of traffic accidents

Wonder why they didn&#x27;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...<p>&quot;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.&quot;

So people with poor decision making abilities in one area also have poor ones in others. Not really shocking.

&gt; 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.<p>Someone doesn&#x27;t understand statistics. It attributes this to the study&#x27;s authors though. Am I missing something?<p>(Beyond the obvious that vaccination doesn&#x27;t stop you from getting or spreading covid so worrying about whether someone else is is meaningless xenophobia)
