Mask up buttercup. Don’t fly if you’re worried about it.

OH NO Chicken Little. The Sky is Falling, The Sky is Falling.
Now Back to the Reguarly Scheduled Nonsense.
Quit living in FEAR like the Govt & Media have been Brainwashing you to be. COVID is now determined to be ENDEMIC. So it is here to stay. And like it's Pretty Sister INFLUEINZA. It too will have Strains or Variants every year. So decide how Many Boosters or Flu Shots you wish to endure and ultimately pay for. Me I am stick with more COMMON SENSE preventives. Eating Right, Taking Viatimins and such.

Somewhat related - yesterday I had a very interesting experience at checkin. The check in counter agent (she was rather gruff) asks casually "any issues with covid in the past 10 days." I answered "no" (which is true). The next question caught me a bit offguard though, "are you willing to wear a stupid mask for the duration of the flight even though they don't work and won't save your life?" After being left speechless for a second, I answered "yes." Regardless of one's feeling on masks, this was totally unprofessional. And with all the misbehaving pax, no reason to add fuel to the fire.

It won't, and it shouldn't. My neighbor has a blood disorder and his hematologist told him not to get the vaccine until more studies are done on his clotting condition. My BIL has been infected and recovered and now has T-Cells able to develop antibodies as needed, so an artificial antibody boost is irrelevant to his safety or that of others.
There has never been a requirement to prove up any vaccine status ever to fly domestically - varicella, measles, viral meningitis, HPV, DTAP, etc. It's always been a self-measured risk (getting in a metal tube with several hundred other folks).
Anyone who wants to wear a mask can wear one, two or three in any variety from cloth to N100. Anyone who wants a vaccine and booster can get one. There's zero need tor any enforced requirements - it's all personal choice and safety now.

I have a chronic cough due to acid reflux. Have done everything possible to make it better, including meds, avoidance of trigger foods, etc. It still comes on at very random times. I live in fear of having a major coughing fit on an airplane (or worse, during boarding). I even carry a note from my doctor. That said, the guy in the original post who joked about covid is a major jerk.
