Don't go this route. Quantum immortality requires that you survive and are conscious. It doesn't require that you are healthy. Since accidents have a chance of crippling you, quantum immortality indicates that every person is going to find themselves crippled, forever (or at least until something is invented that can un-cripple them, whereupon they live a normal life until one of the remaining things that can cripple them but hasn't been stopped yet does so.)
I agree. I did say that it was wishful thinking. But it is still true that your observations will always be consistent with it, even assuming it is false.
