There you have it.
Is everyone going to line up for this or are there going to be some vacancies as a result? God forbid you want to make a choice for your own body. Nope. We own you.

Nothing bad ever happened from that strategy

What does FAA aeromed say about adverse reactions for pilots? How are you to be returned to status?
FAs, gate agents etc don't have to pass a medical every 6/12 months. Pilots do. We have to disclose our medical condition to include any visits to health professionals no matter the reason. Not so easy.
The vax is not to control spread. It is to lesson the effect once you get it. Nothing more. If masked worked, then why the push for the shot?
there's a waiver for everything. my guess is that pilots get waivered on the shot and can pass into countries no problem.
As for me I'm VEOP at DAL So don't have to worry about it. We had to get Yellow fever there. Then again I had that shot twice in the military (once every 10 years) it is a well known and well tested vax. This one --- Good luck!
A true faustian position - million dollar career or potential life time health issues for a bug that is less than .02% lethal for those under 65.

secondly, it’s a simple risk analysis. If the lethality is in fact 1/500 as you say, then the adverse effects of the vaccine would have to manifest themselves more frequently than the lethality rate (and so Far it isn’t even close) to make it not worth while. So, if they were both 1/500, which would you rather be gambling with, your life or a non lethal negative reaction to the vaccine? The logic just doesn’t hold up.
third, a vaccinated population will absolutely have a lower r-naught

Well, first, if I get an adverse reaction I’ll go on LTD and get paid 9K post tax to watch my kids while my wife works. It’s a harder job than flying airplanes, but more rewarding.

The vaccine (all brands lumped together) has an 86x higher rate of fatal reactions than influenza.
60% of all health care workers are either hesitant or refusing to get the vaccine.
911 calls regarding allergic reactions are up over 500% and climbing since the vaccine started rolling out.
People who have had COVID or are anti-gen positive, make up over 80% of the adverse reactions.
And here's my favorite fact.... THE COVID VACCINE DOESN'T PREVENT YOU GETTING OR SPREADING IT. All it does is lesson the symptoms if and when you do contract it.

It's not that it doesn't prevent transmission, it's just that they didn't control for that specifically in the testing. Since they didn't run the trial long enough to prove it stops transmission, they have to assume the worst-case scenario. Kind of like a CDL limitation for 250 KIAS for a missing access panel. The plane probably could go faster, but they never certified it that way.

The 22 Jan 21 CDC update has CFR at 1.67%.
CDC has 4.6 estimated actual infections to every confirmed positive case. That would make Infection Fatality Ratio 0.36%.
