The PCR test is open to rampant misuse and they are doing just that. If they magnify the test by 40 times (so called cycle rate) they can find anything. Including Covid. Because one thing is clear. Covid will be found in everybody that is tested. It is endemic. Never going away. And for the majority of people it means nothing. Except if you happen to have an agenda, such as the government of Canada. Taking an experimental vaccine may or may not help you. Jury is still out. The world population is the clinical trial test. Cool. You are far better off living healthy in my humble opinion.
Fact Check- COVID-19 vaccines are not experimental and they have not skipped trial stages

Although the PCR test has its faults, Covid is certainly not found in everyone tested. I have plenty of friends who were tested many times and always tested negative. One was tested 29 times throughout the pandemic so far for personal and work travel and has yet to test positive.

Have you heard of the delta variant? Either way, one only needs to look to Alberta to see the vaccinated aren't what's stretching their healthcare system thin.

It’s not about the cases. It’s about the burden on the healthcare system.

Right now, by far the majority of ER and ICU patients are unvaccinated.

So if it’s as you say “vaccine uptake is higher than ever” then it’s the tiniest minority that has resulted in the near collapse of our healthcare system.

So the figure still isn’t high enough. It needs to be nearly total, or those who choose not to be vaccinated need to be excluded from society which is exactly what mandates and passports are all about.

I also will not be vaccinated. The data is already out on mass clotting issues and permanent heart damage. Will only be time when you all lose your medicals. The way I figure it the vaxed have 6 months before they start dropping like flies. The ones left to keep flying will need to take some anti clotting approved medicine for the rest of your career. I will not support aborted fetal cell line research.

Another pilot just died in the states a few days after the forced vax. This one was in flight.

PS reverse question as well fully vaccinated FO vs an unwilling not vaccinated Captain.
No. You can refuse unsafe work, but being unvaccinated does not pose a clear and present danger. With that said, being unvaccinated means that you are at a higher risk of infection and serious complications. A pilot who is unvaccinated is a bigger danger to themselves and refusing to be vaccinated because you read something on Facebook shows a quality that is unbecoming of a professional.

And mrwhale, if you refuse to be vaccinated on the grounds that an individual in a group of billions (yes, billions worldwide) was injured, you are showing poor decision making skills. You should make sure that your girlfriend/wife/daughter(s) don't take birth control pills as they have a 1 in 100 chance of clotting.

Best you find a rubber room and hook yourself up to a saline drip because you shouldn't be going anywhere. The whole world presents a greater risk to your health and safety than the vaccines do.

Oh, and seek help.

What was the flight number? The date? The pilot’s name? What was the route of flight? What airport did they divert to? Where is ANY official statement from Delta Airlines?

Oh I know. It’s all being suppressed by the government, Delta Airlines, and the MSM. They flew in a new pilot and the aircraft was repositioned with the passengers to Guantanamo Bay. They got the CIA to double tap all of his family members and they rounded up everyone in his neighbourhood to be shipped off to FEMA camps for sequestering and re-education.

Thank god for “news” sources like Red Voice Media otherwise we would never have found out. With nothing but some high school dropouts, a used server in a closet in a rented house, and zero field reporters they were able to pull the string that unravelled this entire conspiracy that goes all the way to the top.

May we quote you on the "dropping like flies" in 6 months? Or is it like 45's constantly revised statements that he will be reinstated in 2 weeks/2 months/6 months/9 months/12 months. Do we send money to Mike Lindell to support your cause?

Personally, I don’t care if people get vaccinated or not. That’s their choice, not mine or anyone else’s.

When we had no vaccines, we had fewer cases than we do now that over 80% of the populous is vaccinated. As I said before, vaccines are not the answer. We need to dispense with this mask nonsense post haste as well. Personally, I don’t mask anymore unless I’m at work. Those who are vaccinated shouldn’t have to mask either, it should be one or the other.

You don't understand concepts more complex than 1+1=2. Wait until you learn how 10+10 can equal 4. The world is not a simple as you believe it to be.

Like I said above, I. Don't. Care.

Get the vaccine or don't, it doesn't affect my life whatsoever, so I go on living it how I choose to. The last two years have probably been the most relaxing for our entire family.

Again, we now have a much more transmissible variant of the virus circulating within our population. The fact there has been so few hospitalizations relative to the case numbers is a testament to the effectiveness of the vaccines.

You should care. If nothing else, consider your family in this case. If we were to remove all restrictions like Alberta did, we'd likely end up in a similar predicament. Imagine if one of your loved ones got into a serious car accident and required an ICU bed for treatment. However, all the surplus beds have already been taken by anti-vaxxers due to COVID, preventing your loved one from getting the treatment they require. Are you beginning to see how this might affect you?

You do realize that it is a Covid protocol that a "Covid" patient be put in an ICU bed whether they need it or not. That is the source of this ICU bed shortage. And that you can be Covid positive with full vaccination. You do know that right? You should also realize that everyone has Covid in their system by now and if you continue testing and looking for Covid you will indeed find it. Question is what you going to do about it? Stay locked down forever? Or wake up?

You can't seriously believe that. If doctor's are having to triage patients, deciding who lives or dies, they're not going to be wasting these beds.
palebird wrote: And that you can be Covid positive with full vaccination
True, but the vaccines drastically reduce the transmissibility of the virus and the severity of the disease. No vaccine has ever been 100%, but their widespread use will eventually result in a herd immunity that can keep our hospitals from being overwhelmed.

There is zero proof of this.

Again, I don't care. Nothing I can do about it, so I don't let it concern me.

What exactly would you suggest I do about it anyways? Tell all the fat, lazy people stuck in ICU to stop stuffing cheeseburgers down their gullets long enough to go get vaccinated so their obesity and diabeetus doesn't kill them when they catch this wuhang flu? That's their choice to get vaccinated or not, you and I have ZERO say in someone else's health. If you're a healthy, fit person, catching covid won't kill you. Maybe they should start there.

I'd rather spend my time and effort making sure myself and my family are looked after, fed, and that we have money in the bank.

Situations like the one you described illustrate exactly why we need a two-tiered healthcare system here in Canada.

So, where does herd immunity "kick in" then? We're already over 80%. What's it going to take in your expert opinion?
