disclaimer: Not sure if this has been filled. This could be a draft copy to allow the adding of more plaintiffs
More from the filling:
I. OVERVIEW
1. This matter is one of national security that warrants the Court’s
immediate attention, intervention, and the issuance of an emergency,
temporary restraining order (“TRO”) for the immediate cessation of the
unlawful, life-threatening, vaccine-mandate imposed by United; as well as, any
other airline companies contemplating same until the science/medicine is more
fully developed and better understood

So how many United pilots are going to quit because of the mandatory vaccine?

Excerpts from the lawsuit document..apologies for the format but this is how it pasted:
5. Excerpts from Dr. Edward’s affidavit include:
In my expert medical opinion, subjecting airline pilots to the
emergency use authorized Covid-19 gene therapy injections
would subject them to a greater risk of harm than any benefit.
The above opinion is based on the following:
i. Pilots are vigorously screened and monitored for health
problems, and are generally regarded as extremely fit and
healthy. So, they are at a very low risk for developing
significant complications from an acquired infection with
Covid-19.
ii. Multiple published studies as well as me and my colleagues’
clinical experience shows that there are exceedingly effective
early outpatient therapies for Covid-19 that can reduce
hospitalization and mortality rates by 80-90%, even in an
unhealthy, high-risk population.
iii. The full benefit of the vaccine is still not well established as we
are still very, very early in the clinical trial phase and there
are multiple early indicators that the current dominant Delta
variant is not susceptible to being covered by the vaccine.
iv. A full understanding of the safety data and the probability of
adverse reactions is still very difficult to estimate based off the
fact the control group from the original study have now all
received the vaccine, the FDA and CDC have not held any
briefings to update clinicians, and we are relying on a self-
reporting system that was relatively unknown to healthcare
workers initially, is very cumbersome to use, is reportedly 2
months behind on data entry, and historically has been known
to only report 1-10% of adverse reactions. But, despite all of
that, there are still more deaths reported to VAERS, in
excess of 12,000 now, than all other vaccines combined
over the previous 2 decades. Many of the adverse outcomes and deaths are related to blood clotting
problems, including stroke, heart attack, and
pulmonary embolism. It is well established that airline
travel, due to altitude and prolonged sitting, is a risk
factor for blood clotting problems.
v. Lastly, the fact that pilots are responsible for the lives
of the crew and passengers onboard their aircraft, there
is even more of burden of proof on the individual or
entity who is attempting to mandate the pilots be
subjected to take part in the is clinical trial of covid-19
vaccine to prove that the benefit clearly outweighs the
risk and that there are no viable alternatives. It is my
very firm and sincere opinion that this standard has not been
met by the mandating entities.

Not sure but them calling it a threat to national security and seeking a temporary restraining order and putting the onus on the corporation to prove it all is a good strategy. Much better than that Houston hospital brief. They have a point. If pilots end up suffering clotting or neurological issues while in flight it’s an issue.

Is this the part of the thread where all the pilots change lanes from being medical experts, to being legal experts? Can’t wait!
