The FAA has very quietly tacitly admitted that the EKGs of pilots are no longer normal. We should be concerned. Very concerned.
Serious question for any pilots: do they ask if you’re vaccinated during your checkups? Were you discriminated against if the answer was no?
You know it so when the elites don’t want vaxed pilots on the flight deck. What do they know that they don’t want you to know?
Maybe they’ll start saying “buh bye” to the passengers when they’re boarding the plane now?
Since many FReepers likely have a cardiologist among their doctor list, it would be good to ask about these EKG changes by the FAA.
FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved less than 12 months ago. The FAA requires at least one-year of post-marketing experience with a new drug before considering if for aeromedical certification purposes. New antibiotics, lipid-lowering drugs, and antihypertensive medications may be considered earlier than one year. Please contact the RFS or AMCD for guidance on specific applicants.
Would it be comforting to know your pilots are on blood thinners?

IIRC Biden mandated all commercial airline pilots get the jab.

The co-pilot can handle it. 🤣
yeah, well, the chance of both pilots dying on the same flight are twice as low, so... good to go, right?
And the airlines are looking at having only one pilot in the cabin. What could go wrong?
2023 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z28.310
ICD-10-CM Code for Unvaccinated for COVID-19 Z28.310
They're breaking down why refuseniks are unvaxxed. From that last link...
Unvaccinated for COVID-19 Z28.3
Use additional code, if applicable, to identify:
immunization not carried out because of contraindication (Z28.0-)
immunization not carried out because of patient decision for other and unspecified reason (Z28.2-)
immunization not carried out because of patient decision for reasons of belief or group pressure (Z28.1)
immunization not carried out for other reason (Z28.8-)
renewed my medical 6 months ago, and my doctor asked. All I need is a third class though for Private Pilot operations. ATP requires 1st class medical
Should change the requirements to only one, the pilot or co-pilot can be vaccinated and only half of stewards(esses) may be vaccinated and no mechanics or maintenance personnel may be vaccinated.
It is now: .12 to .3 and potentially even higher."
Normal duration of ECG segments:
PR interval: 0.12 – 0.2 secs (3-5 small squares)
QRS: <0.12 secs (3 small squares)
QTc: 0.38 – 0.42 secs

What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal ECG results may be a sign of:
Damage or changes to the heart muscle
Changes in the amount of the electrolytes (such as potassium and calcium) in the blood
Congenital heart defect
Enlargement of the heart
Fluid or swelling in the sac around the heart
Inflammation of the heart (myocarditis)
Past or current heart attack
Poor blood supply to the heart arteries
Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)

Max .2 to unlimited to "a lot" to .3 "and potentially even higher".
No link to FAA or anything else.
To your point, from December...

Interesting timing, wasn’t it.
Steve Kirsch is infamous for his opposition to the covid vaccines. He started two companies to research potential remedies. The board of one company made him resign because of his inaccurate statements on the vaccines. The second board, all 12, resigned because of his inaccurate statements.
