Vaccinated passengers should have the option of not wearing masks. I understand that the vaccinated can still spread it but at this point why are we responsible for protection of those choosing to remain unvaccinated. They are making a choice for whatever reason and that’s ok in my book. They also by and large don’t want others protecting them anyway.

I say voluntarily disclose your vaccination status and have the option of not wearing the mask on planes. Choose not to disclose or choose to be unvaxed then mask up.

I honestly wish it were optional for everyone but this seems like a good compromise.

Speaking of AFA, I've read they won't help dues-paying members navigate medical exemptions with the airlines. Niiiice.

Guess the airlines won’t be getting any of my money for yet another 6 months.

Probably also more due to overall health as well. It was well documented early on that COVID was really bad for those who are obese.

Alabama is usually top 5 in nationwide obesity.

This is a very, very huge part of the equation, probably even more than vaccine hesitancy if we're being honest. Nobody in the spotlight is allowed to call for making healthy lifestyle adjustments because it can be perceived as fat shaming, and that would sound mean and harsh. And we just can't have that apparently.

God forbid we pick on drunks or drug addicts, too.

If I have to wear a Mask "for their health" if you are visibly morbidly obese, I should be able to knock the triple whopper with large fries and a large sweet tea the heck out their hands.

I ride a 24 mile loop on my mountain bike most days I'm home. Some trails, plus the bike path at the Virginia Beach oceanfront.

About once a week, as I am down there, som 350 pounder at 5'4" "where's your Myaaask?!!!" To me, and any other unmasked people.

As they waddle and inhale fried food while smoking.

The topic was Texas governor testing positive for Covid-19. No, that’s not a big deal and shouldn’t even be news since he’s vaccinated. Positivity rates and cases shouldn’t even be news anymore with current vaccination rates.

the topic is issuing mask mandates. Not Texas governor’s covid (brought up as a red herring). I highlighted the fact that Alabama effectively no longer has ICUs, to show that covid is spreading again and may be influencing the decision of mask mandates. Wether we like it or not the DATA being pushed by official government sources indicates that covid is strong in the south. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if the government is pushing numbers in bad faith for nefarious purposes.

regardless this will impact deltas bottom line if not handled. That is all I’ve said on this.

of course you may sling names like “chicken little” like children, however I would counter I am merely relaying the data, not saying it’s valid per say

How about we just not treat the unvaccinated if they could have gotten it? Bam! Hospital problem solved. Plus the global IQ would probably go up a few points.

I mean, that’s a start. But at this point forget not treating them, how about not allowing them to operate in polite society? They’ve had their chance, and they’ve made whatever backward decision they wanted to, but it’s time for those of us that have done a very small thing to protect everyone to get back to normal, and let the anti vaxxers starve for all I care.

DON'T FEED THE TROLL! Remember, even negative attention is better than no attention!
