@PNS This makes some sense.
A non-negligible portion of the people who didn't get vaccinated did not do so for ideological reasons - they simply neglected to do so. People who are on the lam are also going to see no reason to get vaccinated.
Such people are more likely to get in traffic accidents simply due to the types of people they are. Since that population gets mixed in with the people who avoided the vaxx for ideological reasons...you get this result.
It's functionally the same reasoning that applies to the fact that - on average - women have a slight preference for men who take large shits. The population of normal women distribute normally, and a very small number of coprophiles insist on men taking large shits.

Couldn't it just be that people who didn't get vaccinated are more likely to own personal vehicles and drive more on average? I mean... they didn't even account for whether the people in the pool actually drove or actually had a license. They just included everyone who was "eligible for a driver's license."

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @Humpleupagus @PNS I think places for that are too common for that to be a factor. At least in Australia they are, but we also have slightly better public transport

@Humpleupagus @PNS This is also possible, but would violate common sense a little. Someone who has a driver's license and a car is more likely to be able to go to the place with the vaccine. Someone who doesn't is more likely to give up due to the difficulty of travel.
