Vaccination will become the standard and no more controversial than random drug and alcohol testing.
But it shouldn’t have been left up to QF , it should have been mandated by government.
Unfortunately they are weak as p$ss.
Either way , very soon you wont be travelling anywhere domestically or internationally without being double vaxxed.
There will be lots of side benefits. You wont get stuck next to an antivaxxer on a 14 hour flight.
Or in a restaurant in Victoria or NSW.
Plus the population of antivaxxers will be rapidly self limiting once we open up after 80% vaccination levels.
So look on the bright side !

Because no vaccine is 100% effective.
It's like a seat belt that stops you crashig the car in the first place, to the relief of your passengers and innocent by-standers.
Anyone ever notice how all followers of the anti vaxx cult all independently came up with the catch phrase, follow the money? With implications that the big bad pharma companies are chipping us, sterilizing us while stealing our money?
Well, since we now live in a world where scientific data is poo pooed and YouTube and face book are the only approved news sources by the cults Supreme leaders. I too have a conspiracy. It goes a little like this:
Why are all big pharma not treated the same by the cult? Have you noticed that the big pharma company Merck, the maker of Ivermectin is not on the bad boy list? This even after they have said they wouldn't even feed that stuff to their Bogan mother in law to treat covid as it doesn't work!!! (Well their website might not mention Bogan mother in law, but it does say it doesn't work. This is why they are not trailing it to prove its a miracle drug)!!!
The only answer is, follow the money. As we know, all cults only exist to control people and make them do weird shite. And as well as demeaning their followers, they also take their money. So supreme leader, and his mates must be heavily invested in Merck. They are uprampers for the stock and down rampers of the opposition. Clever or what?
My sources come from exactly the same place where proof that all vaccines are experimental and are activated by 5G networks came from. So it's pretty damn solid.
I see the USA will allow non resident visitors from Europe and the UK starting Nov. Their requirements are pretty much the same as those already in place in Europe. That being proof of double vaccination and a negative PCR test done within 3 days of travel.
Anti vaxx cult members are being swept into a pretty small corner. They don't believe they are the minority. They don't believe that no-one cares if they can't have the same freedoms of the vaccinated in the future. For some their decisions now will be life changing. It's an incredibly sad state of affairs. But as always happens, group needs will take priority over their minority individual needs. That is how society works.
I do sincerely hope it works out for them. But I am sick of hearing their shite.

The vaccine may or may not be effective at preventing transmission - but it’s pretty effective at preventing major illness or death. Ie it’s a seatbelt.
Don’t be confused by the messaging.

It is very much about both. Even the troubling data from Israel, much touted by the anti-vax crowd- showed that at worst those vaccinated had a 50% lower infection rate after six months pre-booster, and back to high 90s after. So it's the automatic braking AND the seatbelt- less likely to get it, not as bad when you do.

AstraZeneca made the decision early on to supply their covid vaccine at no profit to the company during the pandemic. I have no doubt the anti-vaxxers can twist that into their narrative also.
This website should be mandatory viewing by all anti-vaxxers:

You seriously couldn't make this stuff up, it's so daft: "I don't know where [the virus] came from"

This is a month or so old now, but worth a read for those who need a refresher on their High School Statistics:

The Anti-Vaxx crowd using Data from countries such as Israel fail to realise the Data actually supports the Vaccines. I would expect it from the usual mouth breathers on Social media, but I've been totally gobsmacked at how many Pilots completely fail to correctly interpret the data. When comparing Deaths or Hospitalization numbers of Vax vs Unvaxxed you need to account for the Population size of each group. Simply saying X% are Vaxx and Y% are not is a completely meaningless statistic.

It , after all , is an open forum.
I , for one , hope and pray they are not.
Unfortunately, my reference to Pilots include those who wear the same uniform as I do and feel compelled to share their "facts" on the Flight Deck along with Company Q&A sessions...

Probably a good thing I’m retired.
Not sure I’d cope very well….
But , of course , the Left hand seat has always been something of a bully pulpit.
Something to be endured in the right hand seat.
And hopefully learnt from…..
And not repeat the behaviour once you’re there.

One would hope all those anti vaxxers who do end up with covid don't attend hospital for treatment, I mean, they're probable start consuming products forced upon them by medical science and be contributing to the profits of big pharma, and taking up beds in ICU that could have been put to better use.
Some surgeons require patients to give up smoking before surgery that may have an unacceptable risk.
No vaccine no treatment ?
ICU units will be working out a protocol for post opening up as we speak.

On what basis do you say that? A gut feel? Your years of experience in medicine or hospital administration? You state it with the confidence of a fact, when they have already done exactly that in the UK in previous surges, and in the USA. Even if it's just quietly considered and worked out as contingency plans by administrators working in back offices without publicity, it would be foolish not to have at least considered the potential outcomes, in the same way your QRH has checklists for almost every conceivable type of system failure without implying that you expect to have a Green HYD failure or landing gear malfunction.

Grumpy Retiree and DeFlieger - Give your vast ICU credentials to this forum.
I am working alongside the medical professionals, and they do not assess vaccination status when treating cases. If a patient is has covid like symptoms they will treat said patient as having covid until PCR tests can confirm otherwise.
