Well, Delta Air and Delta variant. Sounds pretty related to me!

Right now we can't count on anything science says as recommendations on what to do, because science keeps getting it wrong.

They promised us that the whole thing would be over before the 2020 election. BROKEN!
They promised us that masking would slow the spread until the virus was gone. BROKEN!
They promised us that if we got the vaccines, we could abandon the masks. BROKEN!
They promised us that the vaccine would keep us from getting the virus. BROKEN!

Democrats want to keep the panicdemic going so they can boss people around more.
They are using fear to coerce us.
IF everybody had worn masks and gotten vaccinated, there wouldn't be any variants, and we COULD stop wearing masks, and get back to life. But a bunch of selfish people refused and THEY kept the pandemic going. Science isn't to blame...stupidity is.

And to think vaccinations are the panacea, every Caribbean country requires all visitors, vax or not, to be covid tested multiple times. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/c...-19/index.html
I suspect Delta would win that lawsuit. Its a question of public health and safety.

Not really. In fact there's a school of thought that these excessive measures suppressed herd immunity, not enhanced it.

Israel is 80 or 90% immunized and they're seeing a big outbreak again, including among vaccinated people.

Look up the Great Barrington report by some eminent doctors and scientists who challenged the Fauci orthodoxy (and were highly criticized, even threatened, petitions to get them fired, canceled from social media etc.).

Everything is politicized these days including the virus.

Great Barrington Report is a political document. In the end, restrictions are warranted since medical resources are limited. In an unlimited resource model, you can allow as many hospital beds and deaths to occur as you like. Welcome to the real world.

Israel inoculated the hospital workers and elderly first in Israel. By March, the fully vaccinated rate was 54% and now it's 60%. So fully 90% of the vaccinated are now 6 months past and have lost significant protection if they're immunocompromised or over the age of 40. They've started their booster program and the 7-day average of cases has already dropped 10 percent.

Employers are under the OSHA laws and regulations where they have to provide a safe working environment for workers. They are already dropping free time off for the unvaccinated who have to miss work. A Covid illness or quarantine will use up all the sick leave for these workers with one incident. It makes economic sense to make sure people miss as little time as possible, especially since they can spread it other workers.

^^^ The above is the original post by the pilot himself (I think). (in case the following youtube video gets taken down)

Can you summarize what he's saying? I really don't want to watch a 26 minute video. Thanks!

Just do a search on Qantas pilot speaks out. It is not news, but there are dozens of links to it on anti-vaccine sites.

He has a few more months to comply with his employer.

news

The airline says more than three-quarters of its staff have already had at least one shot, with 60 per cent fully vaccinated

That would not convey the juicy "flavor". He's got some personality. But you can get some idea from the comments under the video in the following link:

I picked up on the fact he has some personal problems. Among them were addiction and the fact that he has managed his money so poorly he cannot think about retirement when he is obviously retirement age.

What does that have to do with not taking a vaccine? I'm not sure. It does suggest to me he does not think and act rationally. It offers me an explanation for his opposition to the Covid vaccine.
