Did they state a medical rationale for that?

Uncertainty. What they don't know might bite their bureaucratic butts.

Sounds like the standard attorney risk avoidance attitude. If you don’t get out of bed, you cannot slip and fall in your shower. Stay in bed and never get out. It is safer that way.

WHEWWWW..... I'm so glad I'm wayyyyyyyy too lazy to have even considered doing something like that.....

x2. If somebody had called me I probably would have done it.

Well of course it should be disqualifying. Oh yeah, I’m taking an experimental trial drug that hasn’t been proven yet, I’m the human guinea pig today.


Sorry, there is no way you should be touching any airliner.

I don't think any reasonable person would disagree on this. Half the over the counter stuff at Walgreens will disqualify you while the drug is in your system. But once a vaccine gets an FDA approval and is 'ops tested' by an airline pilot, then it'll be a different story.

No need for hysteria.

Probably a lot more reasonable to be grounded for 2-4 weeks after the last booster. If your immune system hasn't had a reaction by then it's probably not going to, and the odds of sudden incapacitation are remote anyway.

so you got that going for you, which is nice.

Don't take the shot(s). Need a year or 3 to see how this plays out. Far different than say a yellow fever or Typhoid shot.
