This is why some people still believe the vaccine makes them immune to COVID. They simply can’t keep up.
The discussion involved a study specifically about people who had COVID once and then got it a second time. Zero died. Conversely, Merle Haggard said 1.3% of COVID deaths are people who were vaccinated.

That leaves 98.7% of deaths in the unvaccinated. So if you haven’t already had either the vaccine or a case of COVID, how is it sensible for the company, the country, your family or your life and/or health insurer to support being unvaxxed?

That’s not how it works. Countries with high vaccine rates are now having a majority of COVID hospitalizations and deaths among the fully vaccinated. And in this country, the leading cause of death in America is related to tobacco use and the second leading cause of death is related to obesity (2.8 million Americans die each year from factors directly related to obesity). Both are completely voluntary and controllable in the people who die from them. So if you want to go down the road you’re going down, how is it sensible for the company, the country, your family or your life and/or health insurer to support you if you’re fat or a smoker? Take a look around the AOC. We’ve lost one pilot to COVID. Want to guess how many will die due to being fat? If you are really concerned about saving lives and/or company dollars, you’re barking up the wrong tree.

I knew this horse was dead when I climbed on it, but it burned some hotel lockdown time. I just saw the Biden administration is going to recommend a booster every 8 months. I hope they at least change the formula in those shots. COVID found a pretty quick work around on that last batch. Good luck to all.

I heard mandatory lobotomies next.

‘For a lot of people on this BB it would be a waste of time and money:)

In countries with high vaccine rates, they have a high percentage of vaccinated people which means that most people who go to hospitals are vaccinated. Math.

All that matters is the percentages within the groups (vaxxed/hospitalized vs unvaxxed/hospitalized). Repeated references to context free statistics are worthless.

Yummy side affects. Sign me up!

How is the FAA allowing this vaccine for pilots considering the side effects…which I think are more harmful to ones ability to maintain a class I?

If one reads the comprehensive list of all the potential side effects of anything (including aspirin), it would scare someone half to death.
