Engineers may know the science as applied to their area of expertise, but they do not understand medical science works (in particular with reference to the Covid-19 fiasco. We have not gone more than 2 weeks in the last two years where there hasn't been a change in at least 1 or more factors (social distancing, getting the virus if you are vaccinated or not, etc.), obvious lies such as the recent "long term studies reveal..." Unless "long term" has been re-defined, this cannot have had such examination. On top of all the confusion, the removal of personal choice on such a decision is totalitarian. Bottom line: If you take away our choice of being vaccinated, you take away your privilege to hire me. Go hire someone who can't think critically instead.

Regardless of the efficacy of the vaccine, we will continue to chase this virus to ad nauseam. It replicates in the same way as the common cold (anyone heard of a cure for it lately?) and mutates as fast as the most flu (already 2 variants). Of the 23 companies working on the Covid virus in early 2020, Lilly and Gillead were dealing with a treatment, but for some reason have not been heard from in a long time. I won't get into the mask/no-mask debate, but having been in medicine since 1973 I have never seen so many "it works"/"it doesn't work" claims about anything in my life and I know one of the two must be correct. No one seems to want to step back and evaluate the whole picture. If the numbers of deaths and amount of "surges" were as high as claimed, there would be no human alive on this planet by now. And, because any YouTube pundit is held with the same authority as those who have long time experience and education in a particular field, we continue to believe lies and are w

Sounds like he was trying to stir up some controversy for publicity sake. This could be because his music is perhaps some of the worst I've heard. But, then again I'm being gracious to him. The truth is he simply is an .......(you fill in the word).

Hey, I remember hearing about the "mile high club" when I was a kid. Nothing new here. (Just bringing it out of the restroom.) Come to think of it, I guess you didn't have to pay for that one.

That explains it! Being an anesthetist and having been told that anesthetists make good pilots because we have to monitor so many things at the same time and coordinate them for good results, this explains why my friends (and sometimes family) seem to think my brain works differently than theirs. (I just tell them it's the nootropics I take. Yeah, right.)

Civic responsibility is a long lost virtue. Free speech, you say? Well, how about taking responsibility for what you say? Or don't you really mean it? If you do, then be ready to give a reason why you feel you should have the right to offend someone. If you don't feel you have that right.....well, shut up!

So, as an airline, I post a "No mask, no fly" disclaimer so that no one can claim the didn't see it. They show up and want to board without a mask. I point to the disclaimer and say, "Have a nice trip back to wherever you just came from." As Ms. Savage has mentioned, they can ask. If you are not carrying valid documentation that you have received this variance, end of story. I don't believe that the "inability to wear a mask" qualifies as a disability as wearing one is the exception to the rule in a given day. We have just become paranoid that we will be politically "incorrect" and the world will shame us to death.

I like to be informed as much as the next person and I sincerely hope this works the way it is planned. However, like Graeme, I can see backlash which otherwise wouldn't be there if just a few "details" were not disclosed. Between cell phone cameras and people who want their 15 minutes of fame, nothing escapes public scrutiny these days. And, more often than not, it is greeted with an overload of public opinion worth exactly what is paid for it....nothing. Let's hope this works right.
