Something else that comes to mind... another guy i know basically became vegetative after taking the flu vaccine. It happens in a small population of people who take it. Does LOL insurance cover vaccine impairments? As you may or may not know, big pharma colluded with corrupt government public servants to pass law forbidding you from suing big pharma for harm caused by vaccines. Instead they set up a vaccine compensation fund (VAERS). It's not an insurance payout nor is it a lot of money. So does LOL cover vaccines?

But once it’s in the system, it’s a very comprehensive tear down/cleaning and takes a lot of time. Sometimes the planes get a lot of attention, but there are a lot of repeat write-ups and the problem obviously doesn't get fixed. Oftentimes they clean some oil and just do engine runs, only for it to happen again later. 59 fume events in March. That’s 2 a day. Average is 5 a day worldwide. No, I don’t think the number of events has decreased. As awareness increases (especially with the new magic marker smell which a lot of people couldn’t identify as toxic fumes), more that would have gone unreported get reported. B6ALPA is supposedly making a committee to study it, but has been pretty mum. Airbus/IAE need a fix. Until lawsuits/deaths result and are positively linked to this issue, not much will change.
