pre-covid, approximately 800k people had heart attacks per year. Do you seriously think that number is now ~13 million?

so maybe do the tiniest amount of critical thinking before posting this nonsense (or even believing it).

The first sentence of the article makes it clear researchers linked the cause to COVID, not the vaccine. “A new study has been published that links the increase in heart attacks amongst adults between the ages of 25 and 44 to COVID-19.”

I'm sure there are plenty of people that will run with the "it was the vaccine notion," although the study makes no such linkage.

I think this increase of heart attacks is due to a deficiency of KUDOS. Kudos are known to improve cardiovascular health. We should all give each other more kudos, every day.

My understanding is that there was a CheckAirman (LCA) in the other seat.
May or may not be true, but the results are what we expect- A safe landing!

Let's hope this Captain is not only ok but gets back in the air ASAP (once he feels up to it!)
THIS is exactly why Sick Leave and LTD are more important then some understand~

This kind of event highlights the differences in a sick leave policy like we have vs Delta. Depending on what actually happened, he could be down for 6+ months. The Delta type plan sounds attractive until faced with a serious issue. Most of the people that I’ve heard pushing for a Delta type plan are those who burn their sick bank for “flex vacation days”. I used to be one of them until I had a medical wake-up call. If I was looking at an extended medical leave I’d much rather have 700 hrs in my sick bank and burn that at full pay with benefits than deal with LTD. Personally, I’d rather increase our accrual rate and improve LTD under our current plan than have just enough sick time to take me to LTD under a plan like that at Delta.
