Spud gun, unfortunately we have NO IDEA how many people have died of covid, only how many have died within 28 days of a +ve covid test. Two differnt things altogether.

Numbers can me meaningless in this complex context. Test positive on Monday, hit by a bus on Wednesday … is that a Covid statistic too?

The basic government website gives both the 28 day figure and deaths with Covid on the death certificate which means it was at least a contributing factor. Then again you could go to the ONS site for a more considered view including excess deaths.
This line of discussion would be better continued on Jet Blast

I can't see the problem of making Covid Vaccine a condition of employment. Why should it be different to any other required condition of employment such as educational attainment, ability to speak a certain language etc? Should the employer regard it necessary, whether Services of otherwise, put it in the contract and make it so. Should current employees complain,l give them the required notice to vary contract and go for it.

People spitting feathers because vaccine status can be seen by commanders on JPA as well. Allegedly.....

230 crewroom when annual 'bloods' were to be taken as part of the aircrew medical. Conspiracy theorists thought it as 'aids' testing by the back door*.

"No-one is sticking a needle in me, I'll have them for assault", from one of the brave Few.
Mildly senior officer, "No probs, Bloggs. On the day, you refuse, you are grounded and on the ops desk ad infinitum, and I will arrange for your flying pay to be stopped. Your move?"

No questions.

This was 84 ish, I can't recall if the jabs went ahead anyway.
