Good point. The only people who are worse than pilots when it comes to talking outside their expertise are lawyers. We have some folks here who would make great lawyers.

Listening to your doctor is ridiculous. I take all my medical advice from the internet, then when I go to my doctor I impress him with how much more I know than he does about everything. I can tell he feels like an idiot for going to Med School at Johns Hopkins when all he needed to do was Google everything. What a chump.

That thought had already occurred to me, but I'm willing to bet that FedEx already has waaaaaay more lawyers than Harvey Watt.

Interesting read on natural immunity vs vaccine protection (not immunity) and how each changes over time. Draw your own conclusions

“ Wherry’s group found that memory B cells generated by the mRNA vaccines made by Moderna Inc. and Pfizer Inc. and its partner BioNTech SE appeared better at blocking virus variants including alpha, beta and delta, than those produced in response to a mild case of Covid-19.”

Above is what happens in breakthrough cases after full immunity has “worn off”

If we socially distance this winter and wear masks there will be less flu.


Flattening the curve isn’t a very complicated concept either yet that mysteriously went away.

That's because everyone who was willing or interested in flattening the curve is vaccinated at this point.

Im not sure why this is even a debate. The courts have already ruled. Like it or not its legal for the employers to mandate it. From that point forward personal opinion doesn’t matter. What am I missing?

I’m referring to leadership, the Fauci’s, if you will. The flattened curve no longer seems to matter anymore, evidence by their lack of mentioning it.

I believe a case is working it’s way up through the courts presently. So it’s yet to be determined.

Just because someone sues doesn't really mean anything. ACB refused to hear it as recently as June. The bottom line is that if someone is suing then it will get thrown out of court. Here's ALPA's legal summary on the matter for you. As many doctors as we've got around here I'm betting we have just as many lawyers though... http://fdx.alpa.org/portals/26/docs/...%208-16-21.pdf
