So we have corporate who couldn't care less if you die, as long as the plane's OK, telling you to be a lab rat and join the millions of lab rats out there. Sorry, when they make a real vaccine, I'll consider it. Right now, I see it as the biggest con job ever pulled by a couple of greedy pharmaceutical giants. And they have done a wonderful job. Early treatments with existing drugs worked and continue to work, but you are not supposed to know that.
What a load of rubbish. These vaccines have all been subjected to the same process for approval of any vaccine, the timeframe has just been compressed because of the urgency.
It's fine to have preferences, but stating that it is 'experimental' or not a 'real vaccine' is nothing more than emotive claptrap, based on zero knowledge of vaccine production, testing and approval. Unless you're a disease and vaccine expert you're just throwing around nonsense.
Your ridiculous argument could be turned around the other way - what if YOU refuse to get the vaccine and someone you work with who has a valid medical reason for not being able to be vaccinated, catches it from you and dies???? You think any company is just going to say "Ah well, whatever????" Of course not, because they have an obligation to protect not only employees but person(s) they carrier on their aircraft.
I just love how when a topic like this comes up on any forum in pprune, all of a sudden there's people throwing about nonsense that they could not ever know unless they're an expert in the field.
Here's a flash for you - EVERYTHING potentially has side-effects, women taking the contraceptive pill risk blood clots but like AZ, the risk is microscopic.
What's the old saying "you're entitled to your opinion but not your own facts".
