Cool. As long as it gets people back to work.

I think so. Plus many folks will need it to return to work/school. As long as there's a significant segment who gets it up front (there will be) then everybody can watch and see what happens... after a few months of that (if things go well) concerns will fade and most will get on board. Flu shot takers are almost 50% in a normal year, and a big chunk of the non-takers aren't opposed, they just didn't get around to it. For covid, they'll somehow make the time to swing by rite-aid.

With 70% vaccinated, and the other 30% isolated (by choice or policy) it will probably fade away.

You might look at the efficacy of the flu vaccine and the “.take” rate among the public.

Yep. I was in respiratory arrest, almost died and have had sleep apnea like symptoms since. Took me three years to get my FAA medical back. I've had way too many MRIs, CT scans and god knows what else because the FAA likes to prove a negative. In their case they were concerned about loss of oxygenated blood in my brain for a few minutes, but i had to prove no neurological degradation without any real baseline other than IQ tests and my ASTB scores.

Being that I had just gotten my medical back after massive orthopedic injuries and multiple surgeries and implants did not help the FAAs freakout.

Strangely since the Navy had a pilot shortage I was back flying off the boat 3 weeks after almost dying. Amazing how that works.

Same with dental x-rays... slightly elevated cancer risk from each one.

Labelling someone who disagrees with you as mentally ill, hmmm, where have I heard this type of rhetoric before? Shall we have him sent to the psikhushka?

I’d rather deal with NAMI any day of the week over CAMI.

Glad to see you’re doing well.
