Covid-2019 - 2022-12-15

Allow "Recommended Reading" to give you another booster shot in your program of immunization against junk science. It's a study, published in no less than the American Journal of Medicine, finding that people unvaccinated against Covid are 48% more likely to get in traffic accidents. Apparently no control for age (you people tend get vaxxed less, and they get in almost all the accidents). In the paper, having clearly implied causality (why else write the paper), the authors disavow it. What else, they wonder, could lead to these results? "One possibility relates to a ... belief in freedom that contributes to both vaccination preferences and increased traffic risks." We show you this because it is pathetically funny. But it's also terrifying that a once-proud journal palms off such politicized musings as science.
