Was going to travel to Israel next spring. Fully vaxed and had the virus back in Jan. Israel now says fully vaccinated must have occurred within the previous 180 days from the end of your visit. So, vax status there has an expiration date and you have to get boosted.
Still don’t understand why my natural immunity counts for nothing.

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.
The FAA actually tried to presumptively diagnosis all heavy-ish pilots with OSA a few years ago... that would have grounded a lot of people, but IIRC congress intervened and put a stop to it.

These pseudo-patriots have never heard of long Covid.

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!
