Still don’t understand why my natural immunity counts for nothing.

It is in certain circumstances. You can't be fired for being old or fat (or many other protected status').

That's actually a much larger risk health-wise than being young and unvaccinated. I think we should continue the trend of caring for peoples health and fire people who are obese (and refuse to lose weight) as that has been PROVEN to be a factor in COVID risk. I don't want to feel bad when somebody dies of something that is benign to 99.9% of healthy people. Especially since they refuse to lose weight.

Israel does recognize “recovery from COVID” as a form of immunity. There is a time limit on that too though. The problem for Americans is that there is no centralized form showing that you had COVID so there is no document Israel accepts from the US as proof you actually had it.

They have the advantage of a very centralized health care system... which has proved to be useful for covid.

Cool. I don’t want to just survive, I don’t want long COVID. I will do whatever I can to minimize that. I’m a lot better at math then you. Hope you don’t win a Herman Cain Award. Peace.

Why do we advertise to United customers that our public facing employees are 100% vaccinated when half of our branded flights are by UAX companies with no mandate?

What threat is an unvaccinated jumpseater when we deadhead shoulder to shoulder with 170 others with unknown vaccine status?

Why worry about the jumpseater and then go sit in a crowed restaurant, church, or other public event with a bunch of unmasked strangers?

And finally, what are the odds of the TSA extending the mask mandate until everyone gets the booster? My guess is that we’re still wearing them a year from now.

Seriously people it's all about not letting a crisis go to waste and giving politicians as much money as possible by passing covid budgets that give millions to gender studies in Afghanistan etc. All politicians care about is money and staying a politician to get more money. Nothing else. Not safety or health of the US. Money!
