An airline pilot and activist for individual liberty told Fox News situations such as mass flight cancelations will become more common if the Biden administration refuses to backdown from its hardline stance against coercing Americans to get vaccinated against COVID.
“I’m not going to take a mandate. I’m not going to be forced to do something that I don’t believe in,” he added.
“If you have flights reduced by 30 percent because 30 percent of pilots are fired because they won’t take the vaccine, this is going to affect how your goods get here from overseas, how they are distributed to the store,” he said.
“The same thing is happening with the truckers; it’s happening in the shipping industry. Those Amazon boxes that typically show up in two days, you might be looking at three weeks,” he continued.
While the supply chain has for months been showing signs of bending, this past weekend Southwest canceled thousands of flights, reportedly because of a “sick-out” from pilots and other employees over the company’s vaccine mandate.
No other airline was affected by any staffing shortage or widespread weather issues.
Yoder, when speaking of staffing shortages and logistics, asserted that more shortages of employees, such as the one which that hit Southwest, could come. He blamed Biden for the issues and challenged any notion that the federal government is in control of what American citizens and workers choose with regard to vaccines.
“It’s squarely his [Biden’s] fault,” he said.
“First of all, we have all the control, and the control comes from a simple word, and that’s ‘no,’” he said. “We just don’t need to comply. As far as I’m concerned, I will never promote a sick-out or a work action that is illegal."

The Biden Administration vaccine mandate [for companies with more than 100 employees] made it abundantly clear that its focus is not on maintaining our rights and freedoms as outlined in our Constitution, but on its totalitarian rule,” the group said. “Our freedoms and lives have been upended because of a virus with a 99.8% recovery rate. We will not allow this fear mongering campaign to continue on the American people.” Joshua Yoder said
Look at the economic paralysis gripping the entire world!
Does anyone think that this is not the point of this “mandate”?
Corporate America has already signed on with whatever Brandon told them “build back better” was going to be.
Ignore it?
What is that supposed to mean??

It Still Has Not Been Formally Issued!

One month after the Biden administration announced a draconian federal vaccine mandate that impacted an estimated 100 million Americans and led to mass firings of public servants, teachers, and medical workers, the federal regulation still has not been formally issued.
The Federalist reported . . in a post on Thursday that noted, “Joe Biden’s Vaccine Mandate Doesn’t Exist. It’s Just A Press Release”:
Biden’s so-called vaccine mandate doesn’t exist — at least, not yet. So far, all we have is his press conference. No such rule even claiming to be legally binding has been issued yet.
That’s why nearly two dozen Republican attorneys general who have publicly voiced their opposition to the clearly unconstitutional and illegal mandate haven’t yet filed suit against it, the Office of the Indiana Attorney General confirmed for me. There is no mandate to haul into court. And that may be part of the plan.
According to several sources, so far it appears no such mandate has been sent to the White House’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs yet for approval. The White House, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Department of Labor haven’t released any official guidance for the alleged mandate.
There is no executive order. There’s nothing but press statements.
Despite what you may have been . . . led to believe by the media, . . . press releases/statements have exactly zero legal authority.
“There is nothing there yet that gives employers any mandate,” Stephanie McFarland, spokeswoman for the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration, told The Federalist’s Joy Pullman on Oct. 6. “The president made an announcement on this asking OSHA to do it, but we’ve not yet seen anything come from it yet,”. When the state agency gets any further information, she said, they’ll review it.”

Maybe you could just keep flying the plane and wait for the local sherriff to step in.
Low Joe better call the Supremes wing of the Democrat party and get them to strike down mandates and save his bacon.
Maybe, but at this point a massive disruption could probably put a good hurt on their plans.
I’m betting the elites didn’t factor in a pushback.
We’ll see what happens.
People who’ve lost or are losing everything including their lives will have nothing to fear. Elites had better worry.
Vegetablejoe’s puppetmasters (in Beijing and elsewhere) are just waiting for an excuse to declare martial law in the United States.
It just seemed suddenly very suspicious to me, in the midst of all of these various “stoppages”. There will certainly be “stoppage” in response to these “mandates”.
I am a big fan of Atlas Shrugged. I went Galt in February of this year, and for the reasons Rand expostulated. With these “vaccine mandates”, I’m doubly glad.
Ignore the mandate.
Keep operating.
What is he talking about? It is what the Left wants.
This will be a wonderful Christmas!
“ People who’ve lost or are losing everything including their lives will have nothing to fear.”
When you got nothing you got nothing to lose.
L
They should form their own “Let’s Go Brandon” Airlines.
Total chaos is what the Left wants.
Cloward-Piven is here at last!
