2. America is opening up because we are getting vaccinated and therefore immune....
~~~~~
Or, because we have reached herd immunity.....long ago.

Therefore American readers would naturally assume the rest of the world is the same way. The writer is deceptively playing on this fallacy for the purposed of lying to say that the problem is worse than expected. Wrong. It’s not.
Ha! The writer is deceptive??
Because YOU say so?
That is some twisted logic garble, there, VP.
Because YOU say so?
I also say both the writer and headline writer are being deceptive.
The headline says:
"Thousands of flights cancelled as vaccinated pilots fall ill or die"
That's juxtaposing two facts with the intention of implying there's some evidence of connection, but there's none demonstrated in the article.
In fact, the article doesn't even claim vaccinated pilots are dying from the vaccine, only that some pilots who happened to have been vaccinated at some point died of some cause.
The writer of the article references a study about the Astra-Zeneca vaccine and blood clots and tries to tie it to flight cancellations at American and Southwest because of ill pilots.
The problem is no one in the US got the Astra-Zeneca vaccine so that link couldn't exist.
This is transparent, bush-league deception which, sadly, is actually a higher standard than most of the anti-vaxxer trash posted here.
