I have no opinion and have been Vaxed before the passports and communist restrictions, but there is a huge spike in heart issues recently. Media is blaming it on "post covid depression" now....
I will not be boosted unless forced to.

I do. Straight from the source.

It’s all of the 300 pound heavy drinking chain smoking rural antivaxxers who are having heart problems because “i cAuGhT tHe vAcCiNe FrOm My LiBtArD cOuSiN!!!!1!1!!!1!!”

Well... here's wishing that WJ pilot a very speedy recovery and hopefully return to duty soonest. Illness can strike anytime , nobody is immune and needless to say his family are no doubt quite concerned.

Yup, I agree with you.

I’m starting to hear way too many situations lately from family and friends that are more frightening than actually getting Covid. Sudden blood pressure issues, menstrual cycles being impacted (in all ages), rashes/skin sores, severe mouth sores even up to and including brain bleeds (multiple cases, one friend actually passed away sadly who was early 40’s).

Compared to family and friends who have actually gotten Covid… a total of ZERO hospital stays. Granted there are some who are still slowly getting their taste and smell back after 4-6 weeks of negative tests.

These are simply my personal experiences. You can call me a liar, that’s entirely your right, I don’t care. I don’t think I’m the only one here starting to wonder if maybe we should be asking more direct questions after taking a look around at what’s happening to the ones we love.

Just my 2 cents.

I definitely haven’t had a period since I got vaccinated, that’s for sure.

Lots of anecdotal evidence including a pilot acquaintance who after his shot still cant walk after 8 months. But I'm sure no evidence presented will ever convince you. Media told you to be a good boy and take your boosters. Here is a recent paper that might send you in the right direction:

I would like to add i really hope the pilot has a full speedy recovery. What a horrible situation for the crew and family. Good work by the FO.

Did I claim people are dying? What is happening are people are getting severely ill with the vaccine and it is being under reported and suppressed. I have first hand knowledge of this because someone affected I know tried to go to the media. They will not report it. Bad optics. Also wife is a nurse. Seen some shit.
Boosters and these vaccines should only be given to people age 60+ and under no circumstances children.
Anyways i have promised myself not to get into pointless covid arguments and I just failed. I will see myself out.

Well, on the other hand, of the forty or so people who have been vaccinated that I know well enough to have heard, there have been zero side effects beyond a day or two.

The speed at which this thread went from inquiring about the pilot and hoping said pilot was ok, to descending into yet another vax vs antivax debate is hilariously entertaining.

I think we all agree that we hope the pilot makes a full recovery and their family can move forward from this. I also hope this pilots future career is not in jeopardy as a result of this incident!

As for your comment, I find it odd that the majority here so quickly supported forced vaccination of our entire pilot group in this country, at risk of losing their career. A mere 1-1/2 months after this forced mandate takes affect, one of our own suffers a heart attack inflight and we CAN’T ask the question of there being even a “remote” connection? When was the last time this medical situation happened in Canada?

We all hope this individual makes a full recovery. But shouldn’t we also hope there isn’t actually a connection in anyway?

Is this being an a$$ hole??

Here’s proof that COVID vaccines were being secretly administered as far back as 2017. The world’s media is engaged in a conspiracy to hide the truth:

Here’s *proof* that COVID vaccines were being secretly administered to pilots against their will as far back as 2017, resulting in in-flight deaths. The world’s media is engaged in a conspiracy to hide the truth:

Many stats have now come out about adverse effect but not shared on mainstream communist news.
Increase in heart attacks and other illnesses.
I just look at stats and listen to non TV doctors

Everybody can make there own conclusion.

Glad to hear the pilot did not die and will hopefully returns to the best profession

Hopefully Westjet has short and long term disability benefits for pilots. Incase the pilot loses his medical forever.

You say anecdotal. I say circumstantial.

In the meantime, verifiable evidence has been released regarding the effectiveness and safety of the vaccines. In Canada, 30.65 million people have had at least one dose. Even if 1000 people have died from the vaccine, the difference between COVID related deaths versus vaccine related deaths is still 430:1.

You realize that your presented paper presents cases of myocarditis and pericarditis in numbers in the range of tens or hundreds per million doses of mRNA vaccine, don’t you? Overall, 300 cases after 20 million vaccine doses given.

For those who were hospitalized, the median time to admission was three days. 97% within 30 days.

None of this is new, secret or shocking.

Here’s a couple articles using govt statistics and the VAERS data

Draw your own conclusion if the adverse events from the vaccine are acceptable.
Keep in mind that the H1N1 swine flu vaccine trials were stopped after 53 deaths because that was too many to be considered safe.
Have a look at page 106 of the first article.

https://cf5e727d-d02d-4d71-89ff-9fe2d3a ... a07322.pdf


This was an analysis of the excess deaths , the only excess deaths were from Covid restrictions, not Covid.

VAERS doesn't tell you adverse events caused by vaccines. It is just a list of reported events after vaccine. If the entire population is getting vaccinated then of course there will be events happening on the same day. People don't suddenly stop having heart attacks.

But this has @#$! all to do with the fucking thread. So @#$! off and stop fucking disrespecting this pilot.
