I generally go with the science and percentages. There is always “outside factors” but the new testing data is really generally amazing in its ability to define the situation of the general population. Lol!!! I’m going against my better judgment tomorrow to visit with an old friend for breakfast at an old restaurant hopefully my supplemental immune system pills are up to the task as my last shot was over 6 months ago.
Evidence that non vaxed piliots are in super high demand?
As there is a shortage shouldn’t be hard to get a job if qualified. A vaxed employee isn’t as much an issue unless Covid numbers go back up and countries start requiring them again. Seems to me corporations would be pleased to get anyone qualified in the present market even if they were stupid enough to have previously given up a good paying job because they didn’t want to get a vaccine that millions have taken with few bad results in my opinion but pilots should have a right to determine their fate just like women right? As you inferred once no response means I am right! Lol!!! That’s one of the hazards of blocking people. lol!!
Yes on the "nodding and smiling"! On the one hand, you hear some pretty crazy xit. On the other hand, where else are you going to meet such a wide variety of people, most or all of them in a friendly mood?
Personally, I found the work very gratifying. My polling locations were very busy--"voting" around 1,500 citizens daily. We sometimes worked as much as 12 hours and there was occasionally some high drama (law enforcement required), but overall, the people were awesome! I had the pleasure of telling one 104-year-old that "next time, you can take advantage of the curbside option, if you like." Priceless.
You remember getting the polio shot. I remember in my early school years of some of the kids that did NOT get vac. shots. One girl had smallpox scars, one family both daughters had polio leg braces and another with hearing aids from the measles. My mom talks about an ubber religious family that had dad get polio and ended in an iron lung until he passed a few years later. Just before the chicken pox shot was available, I had a child in my class that had serious complications from chicken pox's, his inner ear was scared and now his balance is never going to be quite right. All of these now can be prevented. But I still have a neighbor who refuses to let her kids get any shots.... Seems a bit well stupid to me, but she never saw any of that, all she knows is that "God will protect her children". So far, he has but I think once her kids become adults they will get the shots.I doubt it will ever be combined into a single shot with the flu. There are way too many people who want nothing to do with getting vaccinations for Covid 19 for themselves or their children. So combining it could mean people not getting the flu vaccines. That would be rather tragic as the flu also has a high death rate in senior populations.
I guess I am not an anti-vac we. I have never had a bad reaction to a vaccination, just the typical tender spot now and again.
I have an early 1955 memory of standing in line at my local elementary school with the whole neighborhood, adults and children, lining up to get vaccinated in the first major polio vaccination program. San Antonio had a lot of polio cases. People were relieved that there was a vaccine available. That standing in line with the rest of the community was replayed for Covid 19 shots in the spring of 2021 at the community recreation center in Quartzsite. The worst of it was having to hang around in the heat in April in Quartzsite waiting to get the second shot
Not too hot today at my campsite, it is clouding up a bit early, a few raindrops are already falling and there is already cool, refreshing, damp breeze blowing.
Not so great for extra solar power but I have solar input to enough to keep my small fridge going until tomorrow morning. That is my main criteria!

Just a typo, two letters transposed in position. I meant to key in the word singing. Read back
