Default Long Haul and Blood Clots?

Australian Sky News said that Russia and Spain have told jabbed pax not to fly long haul due to blood clots... anyone heard of this? All I could find was this clip from the broadcast

Hmmm...I wonder why a major Australian news broadcast would lie about what Spain and Russia said. Of course we can’t google it up due to censorship but the amount of fact-check hits that popped up on my end is interesting. The blood clot issue was in that lawsuit against United seeking a temporary restraining order on the jab due to long haul clotting. Affidavits by doctors and all.

With Spain being an EU country...don't you think one could pretty easily find if the Spanish government or any Spanish airline ever actually made such a recommendation or edict?

Why would a major Australian news broadcast not cite a source for such a claim, when doing so would instantly give it credibility?

We have major news outlets that lie all the time. Caveat Emptor.

It's possible that some airline somewhere told *recently* vaccinated pilots to avoid long-haul because some middle manager erroneously conflated the rare vaccine-induced blood clot issue with the not-so-rare DVT issue.

Are you kidding me? SkyNews is basically the same thing (and people) as FoxNews. Haven't they all been discredited enough by now after this entire fiasco?

So the same thing as CNN and MSNBC too?
