Re: People who skipped their COVID vax are at higher risk of traffic accidents

Most people don't know, but traffic fatalities, per miles driven, have risen significantly since 2020, even with less vehicles on the roads (in 2020), the odds of a fatal accident have been higher, and the trend has continued. Rates were up 7% in 2020, and 10% in 2021.

My THEORY (Obed) is it had to do with depleted cortisol levels, a hallmark of "long covid". Cortisol is often called our "stress hormone". It is also part of our "fight or flight" response to dangers that helps humans respond to danger, like avoiding accidents, among many other things. Now bear with me a second.

If you refuse the vaccine, you're more likely to 1) not wear a mask 2) think covid is BS 3) get infected and recover without the benefit of the vaccine. Ok, fine. Freedom! Whatever. But people with long covid, or lingering symptoms, have 50% less cortisol than normal. You know when you're driving and some idiot pulls out in front of you, and you swerve to avoid them, (we've all had this happen), well, that pounding of your heart, that's caused in part by cortisol telling your body to pump adrenaline. It's not only a natural reaction, it's an evolutionary adaptation honed over thousands of years and is intended to help people avoid death and injury. If millions of people are driving around with 50% reductions in cortisol, there will be more accidents. Accidents of all kinds, not just MVA. And given that vaccines reduce the odds of long covid symptoms, those without the vaccine are more prone to have long covid symptoms. Low cortisol is actually something you don't even notice, but low levels leads to all kinds of riskier behaviors, and a lack of avoiding accidents of all kinds.

But that's just a theory.

Very interesting.

My blood cortisol levels are down slightly, but more so than just an anomaly, since getting my 2nd Moderna COVID vax back in April 2021.

I’ve never had COVID; wear the mask when anticipating being in a crowded environment, take extra vitamins D, C, and zinc.

Shortly after taking 2nd COVID vax I started having seizures. Was not allowed to legally drive for 6 months.

Of course, the vax believers … those same people who followed the CDC’s original narrative that the vax would prevent catching COVID, spreading COVID, or suffering side effects from COVID vax … all said that I could not prove that the vax caused the problem. Of course, they are right … proof cannot be ascertained of the cause of my condition.

Back to those who still advocate the vax …

Those same people, who also parroted the CDC’s narrative that natural immunity was a myth, are silent about their gullibility now that the vax has been proven to be ineffective as far as preventing onset of COVID, preventing those who had been vaxed from spreading COVID, or from catching COVID from those who took the vax and got sick anyways.

The pro-vax narrative has now deteriorated to the ‘you won’t get as sick if you take the vax versus those who had not taken the vax.’

Fool me once, shame on you. Shame me twice, shame on me.

Human psychology does not allow those who had been profoundly wrong to admit to others that they had been wrong.

But the now widespread silence from most previous vax proponents speaks to the fact that there are 3nough attentive Americans who have now considered the risks from the vax as not being worth the meager benefits.

Fewer Americans are willing to keep on shaming themselves.
