  From the subheadline: > more than 97% of its staff received at least one shot after the deadline this week. If pilots and copilots are massively, massively over-represented in the remaining 3%, you might have a point, but that is a huge and unsupported assumption.

    > 10,000 pilots left the airline industry during the pandemic. "airline industry" being the differentiator between what you listed and the original article's claim. Also, the number you're referencing is United Airline's, so not even Alaskan. > United Airlines mandated vaccines for staff in August and said more than 97% of its staff received at least one shot after the deadline this week. All those discrepancies aside, you probably have a point. I don't personally believe it's _this_ reason alone, but I think it's at least a part of the issue.

  I don't get this - is the vaccine killing the pilots? Why is pilot deaths up 4x and what is the source?

      I like how you claim that deaths are up, yet somehow the data doesn't exist yet. And then you're being melodramatic in other comments about not being able to questions vaccines. Maybe it's because you're casting doubt without actually considering the evidence in front of you.

      You have as much support for that claim as I do for this one: you are wumao.

  This is misinformation. The Air Line Pilots Association has confirmed that more pilots under their union died in both 2019 and 2020 than in 2021. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-coronavirus-pilots-idUSL1N2T21YR https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-coronavirus-pilots... If you have another source, feel free to provide it, but I've found no other source for this claim aside from Facebook memes.
