Reply to comment by The_North45 in Is there research comparing flu and RSV infection rates between covid vaccinated and unvaccinated cohorts? by rowanskye

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

> it is unlikely covid vaccines provide any protection against the flu or RSV, but if you are the type of person who gets a covid vaccine you are more likely to take the precautions which lessen your chance of catching the flu or SRV.

An excellent hypothesis that aligns with my own rationale; however, I'm asking for the data to back up this claim.

I do appreciate the citation to the traffic collision paper. I read that a couple days ago and found it quite interesting

Did you read the traffic article? Or the research paper? The academic paper infers potential behaviours of the vaccine hesitant. You want to email the researchers directly.

But my main point is there is significant evidence showing the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, icu admissions and death is far greater for the unvaccinated. Yet I suspect your family dismisses this evidence. Just as there has been far too much money wasted proving vaccines don’t cause autism, it is unlikely there will be a compilation of the evidence you ask for. It’s there in the data but why would a public health expert spend money and time proving that hypothesis. The driving study will likely drive up insurance premiums in the unvaccinated if it proves to be true.
