That's not what I said.

I said...If you already had the virus, taking the vaccine is contraindicated. In addition, if your natural immune system/response is of a certain level, then taking the vaccine is also contraindicated. For example, some individuals possess a natural defense to C 19 that exceeds anything you might get from the C19 vaccines.

Many doctors are giving individual immune panel screening to their patients in order to determine if they should receive the vaccine. This is of particular import if your risk factors for taking the vaccine may be too high to accept the risks of taking it.

A discussion of who should and who should NOT take the vaccine has never been undertaken by UAL corporate leadership, flight operations, nor ALPA. When calling ALPA aeromedical, you get crickets. It's a white-washing of sorts.

Commonsense medical practitioners would advise you only get the vaccine after one considers:
1. individual risk factors
2. natural immune response
3. Previously had the virus

The IAH CP didn't address any of that.
Sorry if you misunderstood what I wrote down.
