I ask the FAA inspectors I know if they take non federally approved treatments....They all say no. The FAA isn't making them take it, and not doing any CQDL lessons on it. As a matter of fact, no federal employees being forced to take it. The entire "experimental" issue is evidently a big deal. The drug manufacturers receive waivers of liability. Once it gets FDA approved, those experimental status waivers evaporate.

Ironically my name is Steve and I recently flew with a captain named Roy. On a layover he asked me if he could buy me a beer. I thought it was inappropriate and told him so. But only because of the video. Otherwise I thought it was fine. And I like free beer.

Yet many pilots have no problem strapping themselves into "experimental " aircraft.

There are also those who complain about the vaccine potentially being harmful to their health, yet they are obese, eat a garbage diet, don’t exercise, smoke, drink.........

The same could be said about those who take an experimental vaccine

On a positive note....i just learned a very quick way to get it done while watching Netflicks. At least on Netflicks, I can watch an educational show. You need two laptops or a laptop and an internet capable TV for best results.

just download an auto clicker for your mouse.

I don't know. How many? How many of those wear parachutes?

I hear when the J and J vaccine got pulled, citizens in africa went to the Dr and asked for their blood to be pulled, and the vaccine to be removed from their blood.

You are making a correlation between people voluntarily flying an experimental airplane and people being pressured to take an experimental drug. I guess you could always bail out of that experimental airplane. How you gonna bail out of an experimental drug.

I'd say that was check mate.

No it very much could not. The “experimental” vaccine still had to demonstrate safety through an established scientific process. (Its EUA status comes from the fact that its approval is based on 3 months of conclusive data rather than the 6 required for full FDA approval.) The science on obesity, lack of exercise, and generally treating your body like a garbage can is well established, and clearly proves that it is detrimental to your long-term health. They are nowhere near the same thing.
