Good video.
Now I had seen that traffic accident report before, and I like a bit of statistical analysis, so Checked into it.
COVID Vaccine Hesitancy and Risk of a Traffic Crash - The American Journal of Medicine (amjmed.com)
Now it just so happens that I have not taken the experimental vaccine, and I was involved in a traffic accident early in 2020, and hospitalized, so I guess I was doubly interested in the Stats. Mind you, there was no vaccine available if I remember correctly, but for me that makes no difference, and nfw would I have taken it. Zero "hesitation".
If the report was done properly they would have normalised the figures for all groups. One commentator says this was not done.
If so that would be a major blunder, as the young have a bigger accident rate.
Some of the other factors were of interest too, Depression came up as just a high factor as "not vaccinated". (see table 2)
Also.... not to be picky or anything, seemingly there are just two sexes, male and female. This means the whole analysis is therefore racist, as all math is of course. -g-
Including pedestrians, passengers, etc, into the study where if anyone of them is "not vaccinated" the accident is put into that category is also total bs.
Now when you are designing a statistics experiment, you get to choose what categories get selected. One of mine would be "drivers who are stressed out of their skulls as they just discovered that everything the government tells them is a lie" and have that as a separate category from "unvaccinated". Considerable statistics skills would be required to make sure the data in these two categories are not conflated in any way. Stress is a big cause of traffic accidents imho. I know this as I worked for the insurance industry for a while. Regarding traffic insurance, one of the safest set of drivers are gardeners, and one of the most accident prone are Airline Pilots. Now, I am sure Airline Pilots know how to drive a car, and are very capable drivers, so it must be another reason why they get into so many car wrecks. Other professions are similar. I am fairly sure stress is the real factor.
The good news is that, so far, vaccinated people have not shown an increase in accident rate. That is an important bit of data concerning the experimental vaccines. Fingers crossed.
But I digress. The synopsis is the report is crap and the authors should be fired if they are still in the statistics business.
Russel good as always. |
