FWIW what difference is made by the CDC changing the definition of vaccine? Does that somehow render the COVID19 vaccine ineffective or unnecessary? Will all UAL pilots still have to be vaccinated in order to work on 28 September?
The fact that the CDC did change the definition of a vaccine is not a “fringe position”. It was posted because someone questioned what a vaccine was.

I guess a “fringe source” is an opinion, and no claiming censorship is just pointing out the fact that it does in fact exist.

They attack the site when the information is true, as it is in this case. They like the fact that the mainstream media is controlled by a handful of people and is left leaning.

If your source is "... the real news" or "the truth" in its tag line, website is hosted by a guy with a @hotmail.com email, or referencing a one off study that flies in the face of the majority of studies its chances of holding up to any scrutiny is slim to none. Ivermectin was used as a delousing agent for immigrants for parasites, lice, worms, etc it isn't and won't be recommended by any respectable doctor for covid until real studies that can withstand scrutiny prove it works for covid. They could study medicated gold bond nut powder to treat covid and I am pretty sure it would be about as useful as ivermectin.

The fact that the 4 of you tin foilers still beat the conspiracy theory drums just makes me sad.

Its actually recommended by thousands of doctors here in the U.S. It’s also recommended in several other countries for use in humans specifically for Covid 19 per pubmed which is managed by the NIH. Are you saying the NIH is a bunch of tin foilers?

There are numerous studies and reports given out by reputable sources and doctors that prove Ivermectin works. You keep calling all of these people, including the NIH, conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, you can’t provide even just ONE piece of evidence that backs up your claim.

My 4 year old niece could draw 3 lines on a piece of paper and it would be more data than you could provide that shows Ivermectin doesn’t work.

The fact that the CDCs definition of vaccine changes doesn't mean Jack sh!t. You can grab onto any straw you want I guess...

All opinions are NOT equal so, yes, censorship will always exist to some extent. In the past all of the nut jobs and crazy bastards were relegated to carrying signs on street corners and writing manifestos from secluded cabins. Now they're all out in the open thanks to social media. No - a lot of 'opinions' are total bullsh!t, crazy, or just downright stupid. Some even like to dance on the edges grasping at straws in their self indulgent attempt to defy authority. It's a bit surprising so many of you are pilots but I suppose we're just representative of the population... IMO there should be more, smarter censorship of these people.

You seriously need to stuff a cubic foot of Ivermectin into your pie hole.

It's true. I'm sorry a right wing gun-crazy religious Trump supporting literal fascist website had to inform you virtuous leftists. I really wish CNN could have broke it more softly to you gentle loving empaths, but it is a fact nonetheless.

Archive.org links...
​​​​Last month's definition.
​​​​​​This month' definition.

Maybe they'll change it again. Stay tuned!!!

Looks like they weakened the definition considerably. I know. Hits you right in the feels, doesn't it.

I'm sure you believe that. If it makes you feel better to tilt at windmills then so be it. Enjoy your time off.
