We’ve been through this. If you’ve recovered from COVID you’re among the last people I’m worried about getting vaccinated. Science does still have many questions about immunity strength & timelines, though, & until those answers become more concrete through the scientific process- which takes time- just expect that a lot of businesses are not going to accept your faith in God’s plan as justification to admit you into their establishments. I like the idea of antibody testing, but it does require a big buildup of infrastructure & resources; & since only around 10% of the country has been confirmed COVID positive, I wouldn’t hold my breath that such a buildup will be forthcoming with any expediency. You’re part of a relatively small minority & the focus is still very much on the macro at this point.
You have to be really selective in what you listen to to believe this. 600K dead in this country alone in a year. That’s a lot of mysterious motorcycle crashes. I’m sure there have been plenty of deaths recorded as COVID that could have more accurately been attributed to a different cause, but science deals in aggregate trends- not anecdotal incidents. There’s just no realistic way to believe that this pandemic is attributable to creative record keeping. You criticize those who are being led astray by fear mongers, but you should listen to how you sound when you suggest a massive conspiracy by Anthony Fauci & the combined (and unassociated) global health care system.
These are the first mRNA vaccines to be widely distributed, but mRNA vaccines HAVE been tested in human trials before over the past few years for diseases like influenza & Zika.

And mRNA vaccines have never been successful, until (allegedly) this one. But the point is the testing is done on the fly, and outside of normal protocol. And the approval process will be as well.
As to the conspiracy, you do you and I'll do me. I won't force you to not get it and you can extend the same courtesy. That's all I ask. But I find it interesting that you try to turn this into a conspiracy denigration of those that don't buy your theory. Fauci has flat our LIED. There are tons of emails that attest to that. Believe him if you want. I will do due diligence. Frankly, I think he is an attention ***** that forgot he was a doctor a long time ago.

Name a few events that have been significant in this industry and in our lifetime?
1. 9 11 comes to mind
2. C19 comes to mind
How about deregulation and the strikes that followed? Those are all legitimate topics affecting our industry. What about scabs and scabbing? Another winner.
If you go on the FB forum, the pravda moderators, who think very highly of themselves won't even let you discuss it. They shut it down, and then ban people. That site is so much crap. They are serving it up. Those moderators cry foul if you call them out. They whine like little babies and threaten to resign because you hurt their feelings. Then, if it is remotely related to anything possibly "company" they make up some crapper about negotiating in public. Or if it's slightly negative towards ALPA, they freak out and call you anti union. But, if it's pro management, or pro ALPA, they are all over it.
They keep banning good union volunteers over there, who served ALPA for 20 plus years. Embarrassing that FB site has moderators, or even allows policing.
Different story if it's a personal attack. I totally get that. But, the C19 police are alive and well. Then they say...go discuss it on that other forum.
Total BS.
But, hey, lets have another hot airplane NO APU thread. Awesomeness. Go mods go.
