I misconstrued it, and apologize for misreading your intent.

You’d never pretend to know more about smoking’s links to lung cancer than an oncologist yet you Facebook warriors suddenly think you’re the genius and everyone else is the corrupt shill out to get you

Do 99.84% of smokers survive? Do you have the numbers on that?

And, btw, my primary source of information is the medical professional I’m married to, and her colleagues. Try to be less incurious, and perhaps assume less as well.

Why is your medical doctor wife telling you to not get the jab? Honestly curious.

I have a few doctors in my extended family and they all say to get it. My wife’s obgyn says to get it, my PCP says to get it, and my ame says to get it. What are they missing that your wife knows? Even the few FOs I’ve flown with that are married to nurses say to get it.

He did not actually say she was a doctor, just to keep context accurate.

"The rate of vaccination is pretty much inverse of the education level of staff. Among practicing physicians, 96% have been vaccinated.* The rate drops to <50% among nurses and even more among aides."
From Forbes Magazine:

And a much more broad google search that says the same thing:

My wife is a doctor, and her hospital made her get it. She didn't want to. I'm pretty sure that's why so many doctors got the jab, not because they all believe in it.

Whereas the chances of spending a month in the hospital slowly suffocating to death while your family cries behind a plastic barrier, or having debilitating, long-lasting FAA-medical-taking Covid aftermath is closer to 1 in 250, especially for ages 30-64 which most here are. Hundreds of airline pilots in the US have died completely preventable deaths and hundreds more have lost their Medicals due to covid.

I respect anyone’s right to do whatever they want with their body but if anyone thinks the vaccine is more risky to their health than getting the covid virus, they are disgustingly misinformed.

I’ve seen too many good people (including family) die a slow, painful, and easily preventable death because they thought the vaccine was too risky to take.


to see people, especially in this pilot group, spreading misinformation that can lead to loss of life, makes me sick

Glad someone finally took the time to say it.

those same people will never change their minds. Will just keep ignoring any evidence that doesn’t support their side. Sad.
